Episode description as stored
We think vanilla has gotten a bad reputation, so we’re here to correct the record: Vanilla is anything but boring.   To prove our point, we invited one of the country’s biggest vanilla fans (and all-around star baker) Claire Saffitz to come on the pod and argue why we should all be giving vanilla its due. Then we answer your baking questions in Ask the Bakers, covering everything from how to substitute different extracts to the real difference between vanilla extract and vanilla paste. Jessica has an opinion on the surprising way to put your biggest vanilla bottle to use, and she and David close the show with the recipes they’re baking this week.  Recipes and other links from this episode:  Learn more about Claire and her work at dessertperson.com   Choose your vanilla: vanilla paste or vanilla extract (or both!)   Follow Claire’s advice to use vanilla in custard and make Vanilla Bean Flan   Find our Recipe of the Year: Flaky Puff Crust Pizza   Get your own big bottle of vanilla for gifting   What David’s baking this week: Ultra-Vanilla Cupcakes with Easy Vanilla Frosting   What Jessica’s baking this week: Simple Stovetop Vanilla Pudding   Record your question for our Ask the Bakers segment here !  This episode is sponsored by Brød & Taylor.
