Başak Şekerli Vanilin, or vanillin sugar, is sugar flavoured with vanillin, the main aroma compound of vanilla, packed in small 5 g sachets; this listing is a pack of five. Each sachet carries the note "Her Poşette Farklı Tarif" (a different recipe on every sachet), and vanillin sugar is a familiar item in Turkish kitchens wherever a warm, sweet vanilla note is wanted.
Typical uses include cake and cookie batters, kurabiye, milk puddings such as sütlaç and muhallebi, custards, whipped cream, semolina helva and sweet pastry dough. Stir the contents in with the sugar or flour when you mix the recipe, and use the amount your recipe, or the recipe printed on the sachet, calls for. Vanillin sugar is also a handy way to give homemade ice cream or fruit compote a gentle vanilla scent.
Keep the sachets dry and away from heat and strong smells so the aroma stays fresh, and close any opened sachet tightly. The ingredient list is printed on the pack.
