Recipe Notes

How To Scrape the Seeds from a Vanilla Bean

To split a vanilla bean open, use a small, sharp paring knife and cut from one tip to the other. Carefully separate the two long, flat sides and scrape the seeds into the dish you’re preparing. Save the pods for steeping or grinding to powder, or use them to make vanilla sugar.
