“He basically started telling me to measure 20 grams of this herb and 10 grams of that spice and so on,” Shelton says. “And when he got through, he told me it would all add up to 100 grams. Then he said I should take that and mix it with a certain amount of soft winter wheat flour and that would be it.”
Aware that he’d been given the coveted secret recipe for the Colonel’s blend of 11 herbs and spices, Shelton returned to his office and checked the Colonel’s math: The list contained only 10 ingredients and totaled just 87 grams, which Shelton found puzzling. Then, several days later, an employee called to say, “‘I just ran into the Colonel, and he said you need 13 grams of this,’” Shelton recalls. He says he called his attorney, knowing that the fabled recipe was the exclusive property of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and was advised that “I didn’t want that recipe.”

This seems to imply that everything sans 'soft wheat flour' should sum to 100 grams, including Salt, Pepper(s), and MSG.
And 3.5 cups or ~450 grams of 'Soft Wheat Flour seems to be inferred.
450 grams Cake Flour
65 grams Salt : (1)
14 grams MSG : (2)
13 grams Black & White Pepper : (3)
1.5 grams Allspice : (4)
1.5 grams Coriander (or Celery Seed) : (5)
1.5 grams Hungarian Paprika : (6)
1.0 grams Sage : (7)
1.0 grams Chili Powder* : (8)
0.5 grams Ginger : (9)
0.5 grams Thyme (or Savory) : (10)
0.5 grams Turmeric (or Mustard Powder) : (11)
Total = 100 grams + 450 grams of Flour
*Chili Powder = Ancho Chili Powder (or similar) + Oregano + Garlic Powder + Onion Powder + Cumin + Salt
