Vanilla beans are those cookies that we have all enjoyed at some point, either alone, with coffee or even as a base for desserts.
If you are one of those who believe that homemade always has a special touch, then this recipe is for you.
Making vanilla at home is simpler than you think, and the result is simply delicious. Let’s go for it!
Ingredients:
- 180 g of flour
- 80 g cornstarch
- 6 yolks
- 150 gr of sugar
- 1 sachet of vanilla essence
- 35 gr of honey
- 4 egg whites
Preparation:
- Start by sifting the flour and cornstarch together. This will help the dough have a smooth texture without lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla essence and honey. Beat well until you obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
- In another container, beat the egg whites until stiff. It is important that they are very firm to give that airy texture to our vanillas.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, using circular motions so as not to lose the air in the egg whites.
- Once the egg whites are incorporated, gradually add the sifted flour and starch, mixing gently.
- With a pastry bag, form the vanillas on a baking tray previously lined with parchment paper. Give them the size and shape you prefer.
- Place in a preheated oven at 190°C-200°C and bake for about 5 minutes or until you see that they take on a slight golden hue on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before tasting.
Preparing homemade vanilla is one of those recipes that, once you try it, you will not want to go back to the purchased ones.
They are ideal for a snack, and if you feel like it, you can fill them with dulce de leche, cream or chocolate. Let’s get to work and enjoy the homemade flavor! I hope you enjoy them a lot!
