What is Vanilla Extract

Everyone should understand that those who know will see the tricks, while those who don’t will just watch the fun. Just like when we watch the World Cup now, people who don’t understand will just watch for fun and don’t know what tactics they use when they play, while people who understand will analyze why they use such tactics and so on. People who work as pastry chefs must know what vanilla extract is used for, but if it were someone else, they would definitely not know what it is used for.

I believe that many people don’t know much about vanilla extract. In this lecture, I would like to introduce you to the relevant knowledge about vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is often used in making pastries or cakes. It is an edible essence extracted from other plants. Let’s take a look at its detailed introduction below.

Vanilla extract is an edible flavor extracted from vanilla. It is often used in pastries to remove eggy smell or to make vanilla-flavored desserts. There are two types of flavors: pure natural flavors (pure) and artificial flavors (artificial). Although the two flavors taste similar, the price difference is quite large. It is often used to remove egg odor from pastries or to make vanilla-flavored desserts. Because it is a concentrated flavor, the amount used should not be too much, so as to avoid the overly strong vanilla flavor covering the original flavor of the pastry.

Application

It is often used to remove egg odor from pastries or to make vanilla-flavored desserts. Because it is a concentrated flavor, the amount used should not be too much, so as to avoid the overly strong vanilla flavor covering the original flavor of the pastry.

In addition to concentrated flavors, there is also powdered vanilla powder and tablet-like vanilla tablets. Vanilla tablets need to be crushed into powder before use, and the amount used is equivalent to vanilla powder. But the amount of vanilla powder should be slightly more than vanilla extract.

Preparation method

Split the vanilla pods open and take out the vanilla seeds. Then soak them together with the cut vanilla pod branches in alcohol with an alcohol content of more than 40 degrees (usually white rum/vodka, etc.) for about 3 months.

We have introduced the relevant information about vanilla extract above, and I hope it can answer your questions. This kind of vanilla essence is commonly used in cake making, because adding this essence can make the pastries emit a very rich sweet smell, making people drool and can't help but stay. However, you don’t need to put too much when using it, just a few drops are enough.
