Flavour Powders

These are good for sprinkling on things to make them tasty. Bacon powder is good on everything. I originally read of this idea at Serious Eats in the form of pepperoni powder for sprinkling on popcorn.

Ingredients

• Maltodextrin from ebay
• oily stuff
  • bacon grease before it solidifies
  • pepperoni grease
  • cheese (heat until oil seeps out)
  • butter (?)
  • nutella
  • chocolate
  • peanut butter

Procedure

• put oily stuff into a bowl
• sprinkle in a little maltodextrin at a time and whisk it together (or in the case of more solid things like nutella, rub in)
• keep adding until clumpy
• rub through a sieve to fluff up
• store in airtight container

N.B.: If making savoury items, it's best to put in a pinch of table salt to counteract the (very very slight) sweetness of the maltodextrin. Besides, things like bacon and cheese should be a little salty...
