I stumbled upon a recipe for sesame seed cookies the other day and was curious as to what vanilla sugar was and how to substitute it. Just wanted to share it with ya. But really, who has five hours to wait for it to dry when I want to bake now...?

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.
...can you just like really really low heat it to dry? maybe not the stove or microwave, but put it on a plate and blow dry the bottom of the plate to heat it up a little? i dunno the melting temperate of sugar, but it can't be that low, can it?
ReplyDeletelol! im pretty sure blow dryers don't get hot enough for that, maybe i should use the embossing tool..haha.
