Homemade paprika powder
This is a mild and versatile chili powder that can be used in sauces, soups, rubs, and to top deviled eggs at your next party!
Ingredients
- Ripe paprika peppers dried
Instructions
- Optionally, remove the seeds and pith from the dried peppers. Note that leaving them intact will result in a slightly spicier powder, but it may require extra effort during grinding
- Grind the dried chili peppers using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder until you achieve a fine texture
- For a smoother consistency, sift the ground paprika through a fine mesh sieve, eliminating any coarse particles
- Store the homemade paprika powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place
