Wheat Free Vanilla Sugar
Homemade vanilla sugar is one of those pantry staples that quietly elevates everything it touches — from morning coffee to weekend baking projects. Store-bought flavored sugars can sometimes sneak in unexpected additives or anti-caking agents, so making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar. This version is beautifully simple: just granulated sugar and a real vanilla bean, split and scraped so every last seed gets worked into the mix. The pod itself stays buried in the sugar as it infuses, coaxing out a deep, floral fragrance over the course of a week. A daily shake is all the effort required, and the result is a subtly perfumed sugar that makes anything you sprinkle it on taste a little more special. It's naturally free of grain-based fillers or thickeners, so it fits seamlessly into a wheat-free kitchen without any substitutions needed.
