Description
A lot of European cookie recipes use vanilla sugar in place of vanilla extract. My mother would make a large canister in August in preparation for her cookie baking season (between Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas holidays).
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 whole vanilla bean
Instructions
- Pour the sugar into an airtight container. If the vanilla bean is whole
- slice it halfway through the long way
- open up the bean
- and use a spoon or kitchen knife to scrape out the black gooey specks. Stir the specks into the sugar
- and bury the bean pod in the sugar. Cover the jar and let stand for at least 1 week.
