Vanilla Essence

£0.99

A bottle of Vanilla Essence goes a long way in most kitchens, with just a few drops used at a time. One bottle can last a household through weeks of regular baking, from weekend cakes to school fete contributions. Vanilla Essence is a concentrated flavouring for home baking. It is added straight into cake batters, biscuit doughs and puddings to bring warmth and depth to the finished bake. A little stirred through the mixture is usually all that is needed. In real kitchens, it goes into Victoria sponges, fairy cakes and shortbread. It works well in custards, rice pudding and homemade ice cream too, stirred in during preparation rather than added at the end. Bakers often add it alongside sugar and eggs when creaming a cake mixture, so the flavour spreads evenly through the batter. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to help the essence keep its flavour. Give the bottle a gentle shake before measuring out drops, as this helps distribute the essence evenly. A steady hand with the bottle avoids over-pouring, since a small amount is usually enough to flavour a full mixing bowl.
