What is Vanilla Sugar?
German vanilla sugar is a sweet addition to desserts and other recipes. German pancakes or Dutch baby pancakes are extra delicious with vanilla sugar. Dr. Oetker's vanilla sugar is the most popular German vanilla sugar brand and is available in the US through Amazon. If making German spiced cookies for Oktoberfest, vanilla sugar is among your ingredient list.
How to Make Vanilla Sugar
It's possible to make vanilla sugar by simply mixing vanilla extract and regular cane sugar and blending in a food processor. However, if you're a purist/looking for the real deal, you'll want to buy vanilla beans, which will run you about $12.99 for a dozen on Amazon.
