No, they are not the same. Clear vanilla extract is made with glycerine and predominately used by fondant cake makers or for icings that are needed to remain absolutely white. They're are some people who buy it because its label reads "NO ALCOHOL", even though it is still made with an alcohol solvent. The end result still contains a minute amount, but not enough for the FDA to have it listed as an ingredient.
why would you want to do that! baking with vanilla makes everything taste better! you can omit it, but it wont taste the same
Yes you would use the same amount of either one. The only difference would be if the pure vanilla extract were a double or triple strength variant
No, you would not use the same amount of vanilla extract as you would vanilla flavoring. Vanilla extract is pure and stronger than vanilla flavoring, so you would probably need two or three times the amount of flavoring as you would for the extract.
you can buy almond extract in almost any grocery store in the same aisle as the vanilla extract.
you need to use and least 5 table spoons of vanilla extract
Using a good quality Vanilla Extract one teaspoon (5ml) will provide the same flavour as one bean. Beware of Vanilla Essense which is not made from Vanilla Beans. For more Vanilla info browse to www.reunionfood.co.nz
Yes,Vanilla is a flavoring derived from the seed pods of orchids in the genus Vanilla native to Mexico.Vanilla essence comes in two forms.# Real seedpod extract is an extremely complicated mixture of several hundred different compounds. # Synthetic essence, consisting basically of a solution of artificial vanillin in ethanol.Humans can tell the difference between the artificial essence and the real extract, the real extract is much, much better. If you have vanilla extract you have the best product to use.
The same amount of regular sugar and the seeds from a vanilla pod, or the same amount of regular sugar with some vanilla extract.
Yes you can and unless it is recipe that's main ingredient is vanilla bean, most people will not be able to tell the difference. As a matter of fact, most people can't tell the difference between pure vanilla extract and imitation that costs a LOT less. I use 1 teaspoon of extract for 1 pod of vanilla bean. If you are worried about the liquid imbalance in the recipe, decrease another of your liquids by a teaspoon.
I think they are the same...
Vanilla essence and vanilla extract are not the same. Vanilla essence is artificial, and vanilla extract comes from pure vanilla.
No. Vanilla is a flavor. Many things can have a vanilla flavor; shakes are one example. Ice cream is another. It is a common ingredient in baked goods such as cookies. 'Vanilla' often refers to vanilla extract, which is the source of the flavor. It comes from vanilla beans. Vanilla extract is a liquid that you add (in very small amounts) to give something a vanilla flavor.
