Mustard Free Vanilla Sugar
There is something quietly magical about turning two simple pantry staples into something that smells like a bakery. A split vanilla bean and a jar of granulated sugar are all it takes — no extracts, no additives, no hidden ingredients to second-guess. For anyone navigating a mustard-free lifestyle, this kind of recipe is a breath of fresh air because it is completely transparent: what you see is exactly what you get. The process is almost meditative — a daily shake of the jar, a slow infusion of warm, floral vanilla over the course of a week, and then a sweetener that elevates everything it touches. Use it to sweeten coffee, dust over baked goods, or stir into whipped cream for an instant upgrade. Once you have a jar of this on your counter, you will wonder how you ever cooked without it.
