Vanilla sugar

Description

Vanilla sugar is granulated sugar that has been infused with vanilla beans or extract, creating a sweet and aromatic sweetener for baking and desserts. It is very common in Europe and can be made at home by adding a vanilla bean pod to a jar of sugar for several weeks. How it's made Using whole beans: Place one or two vanilla bean pods (fresh or dried, with seeds scraped out) into an airtight jar with a few cups of granulated sugar. Seal the jar and let it sit for at least two weeks to infuse. The sugar can be used as needed, and the jar can be refilled with fresh sugar as it runs low. Using extract: Infuse sugar with vanilla extract by mixing the extract into the sugar until combined. How to use it Baking: Use it in place of regular sugar in cakes, cookies, and other baked goods for a subtle vanilla flavor. Finishing: Sprinkle it on top of pancakes, porridge, or pastries as a garnish. Beverages: Stir a pinch into coffee or hot chocolate. Key differences from vanilla extract Vanilla sugar is a dry ingredient, while vanilla extract is a liquid. Vanilla sugar is less common in the United States and United Kingdom compared to Europe.
