For baking, use half the amount of Half Spoon than the quantity of sugar stated in the recipe. Your recipe will be just as sweet, but you may need a little more baking powder to help increase the volume. Use the recipes on BakingMad.com to achieve the best results baking with Half Spoon 2 tsp Baking powder ½ tsp Bicarbonate of soda 150ml Sour cream 2 Egg(s) (free range) 1 tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is a superior flavouring ingredient, derived solely from the vanilla pod by soaking it in alcohol and water. Only vanilla extract has the true flavour and aroma of vanilla pods, producing a fuller, richer taste which will transform the taste of any recipe. Vanilla is also a flavour enhancer so will work with other ingredients and flavours in a recipe to give amazing results! It is a versatile ingredient which can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, try it in your cakes, cupcakes and buttercream. We always recommend using an extract rather than essence when baking. Our favourite extract is Nielsen-Massey, it gives consistently great results, the vanilla pods are handpicked in the finest growing regions of Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar and enter a cold extraction process to extract the vanilla from the pod whilst still preserving over 300 flavour compounds. 100g Butter (unsalted) (light and spreadable ) 1 tbsp Milk Utensils Cupcake Tray Cupcake Cases Mixing Bowl Wooden Spoon Cooling Rack
