How to Make Vanilla Sugar at Home Easy, Delicious, and Totally Worth It

Can I Make Vanilla Sugar with Vanilla Paste or Vanilla Extract?

The best form of vanilla to use for homemade vanilla sugar is a vanilla bean. You can use 1 Tablespoon of vanilla paste or vanilla extract per 1 cup of sugar, but both add color and quite a bit of moisture to your sugar. This moisture will affect your baking recipes. You could dry spreading the wet and clumpy sugar on a baking sheet to help it dry out, but the results won’t be the same. I strongly recommend using vanilla beans.

Description
