Description
Dr. Oetker Vanilla Sugar is a ready-to-use, vanilla-flavored sugar for baking, decorating and sweetening desserts. Made in Canada, each package contains six individually portioned 9 g packets (54 g total). It combines sugar with artificial vanilla flavoring, delivering a consistent vanilla taste without the need for liquid vanilla extract. This convenient baking ingredient is particularly useful for German and European recipes that call for vanilla sugar (Vanillezucker).
Vanilla sugar is a familiar ingredient in traditional German baking, especially for Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescent cookies), Butterplätzchen (German butter cookies), Spritzgebäck (spritz cookies), Gugelhupf (Bundt-style cake) and Hefezopf (braided sweet bread). Add it directly to cake batter, cookie dough, frostings, custards and puddings, or sprinkle it over waffles, pancakes, fresh fruit and pastries. It also enhances whipped cream, yogurt, coffee and hot chocolate. The premeasured sachets make it easy to add vanilla sweetness while following traditional European baking recipes.
