About Vanilla Extract
For the usual teaspoon-sized dose, hold a measuring spoon level and fill it with liquid. Do not scrape it like a powder, and measure over a separate bowl so a spill does not enter the batter.
Extract strength and formulation vary. Check whether the recipe asks for extract, essence or paste before changing products; identical weights do not guarantee identical flavour.
Tips for measuring Vanilla Extract
- Pour slowly near the spoon's rim.
- Use the product's directions for concentrated vanilla.
Common mistakes
- Using the extract conversion for thick vanilla paste.
