S3 E35 Vanilla Glazed Mini Scones Using Homemade Vanilla Extract

Send us Fan Mail This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather makes vanilla extract at home. All you need is vodka, vanilla beans and patience while you wait for it to be ready. If you're like us, and tend to be generous with vanilla in your recipes, you might like to make your own vanilla too. As you use your extract, add a little more vodka to keep it going for a few months. You'll save money on this expensive ingredient by making it yourself. Heather also tried a quick Instant Pot method for making vanilla in under and hour. It's not her preferred method and she'll tell you why. But if you need vanilla today, it just might work out for you. We also get a little history lesson on vanilla courtesy of Heather's son, who sums up a Food Theory episode all about vanilla. Find the link to that below. Heather then uses her homemade vanilla extract to bake mini vanilla scones with a vanilla bean glaze. They're a delicious, sweet treat and a great way to showcase your homemade vanilla. Include them on a dessert spread or brunch table, or maybe for afternoon tea. They're easy to make and this is a great basic scone recipe - flavour them however you like (white chocolate raspberry are favourites around here).
