Vanilla sugar may also be made at home by mixing whole or dried and ground vanilla beans with granulated, superfine sugar.
* 1 vanilla bean, cut in 1-inch pieces
* 3 cups granulated sugar
PREPARATION:
Add 1 vanilla bean pieces to the sugar. Cover and let sit for 2 weeks before using or giving as a gift. Do not remove the vanilla bean pieces. Store in an airtight container.
The same amount of regular sugar and the seeds from a vanilla pod, or the same amount of regular sugar with some vanilla extract.
Not really. You use vanilla extract to give food the taste or smell of vanilla. Honey does not taste or smell like vanilla. However, you can use honey as a substitute for sugar or other sweeteners.
Vanilla extract can be used in place of vanilla bean paste. The equivalent of 1 tablespoon of paste is 1 tbsp. extract.
You can use is to make vanilla pastry, vanilla sugar, vanilla ice-cream, practically anything! Just search on good food, or any other food websites, for recipes using vanilla pods and there you go!
To make Vanilla Sugar without having to use Vanilla Beans (Which are rare and expensive in Grocery Stores) just use Vanilla Extract and Sugar in a ratio of one teaspoon of Vanilla Extract to every two cups of regular granulated sugar. Then spread the well mixed vanilla sugar on a baking pan lined with wax paper to dry. *Note* To make Vanilla Sugar with a Vanilla Bean, just crush a Vanilla Bean and mix with Sugar. Then store until needed. When needed, sift out all large bits of ean, until just sugar is left. Store bean with sugar until bean looses flavor.
Yes. Donuts usually have a fairly large amount of sugar in them.
Unrefined sugar (like "Florida Crystals"). It works just as well in recipes and is less glycemic than white sugar.
Depending on someone's order depends on how they sweeten their coffees. Usually they use a sugar substitute, sugar, milk, creamers, whip creams, and even flavors to sweeten their beverages.
Vanilla sugar is just sugar that has been flavored with vanilla. You can just put a drop or two of liquid vanilla into the amount of sugar you need, and stir it together.
They're aren't necessarily healthy or unhealthy, but they're a great substitute for vanilla extract. (If you can afford it!) I would recommend buying them @ Costco for the best value. You can also make vanilla flavored sugar by putting a used vanilla pod in a container of regular granulated sugar. This gives the sugar an amazing aroma and makes it so the outside part of the pod doesn't get wasted.
The primary ingredients of vanilla ice cream are cream, eggs, salt, sugar, and vanilla.
Unless specified otherwise vanilla in a recipe is generally vanilla extract.
