Making your own vanilla sugar is super simple. Sprinkle onto scones and biscuits before baking, so it melts into a crispy vanilla crust that crunches when you bite into it.

Ingredients
1poundgranulated white sugar
2vanilla beanscut in half and sliced down the middle
Instructions
Pour sugar into a sealable glass jar, and poke sliced vanilla beans down into the sugar. Set in a cool, dark place until pigs fly or hell freezes over, whichever you prefer. Shake occasionally.
It will probably take about a month for your sugar to start taking on a good vanilla taste, but I’d recommend leaving it for at least three months. I, for one, just leave a vanilla bean in my sugar sack indefinitely.
