Peanut Free Vanilla Sugar
Homemade vanilla sugar is one of those small-batch pantry staples that quietly elevates everything it touches — from morning coffee to weekend baking. Store-bought flavored sugars can be processed on shared lines alongside nut-containing products, so making your own from scratch is a smart way to keep things simple and safe. All you need here is granulated sugar and a single vanilla bean, which means zero mystery ingredients and total peace of mind. The real vanilla pod infuses the sugar slowly over several days, building a warm, floral depth that artificial extracts just can't match. It's the kind of thing you make once and then wonder how you ever baked without it. Sprinkle it over shortbread, stir it into whipped cream, or use it anywhere you'd reach for plain sugar for an instant upgrade.
