Where are all of my #Chefstr‘s?

Can anyone tell the best way to scrape vanilla seeds from the pod without them clumping together? I’ve read that placing them in a liquid can help, but that didn’t seem to work well for me—I tried using a bit of egg white from the recipe I was making, but it didn’t make much of a difference.

I have never used bean, just extract. I am not sure how to do this better. I've only seen people do it on shows and the just scrape it out and plop it into whatever they were cooking.

Yeah I’ve always seen it on TV as well and it looked so simple. I can say, for me it was not so simple, I threw the 1st pod in my flour mix and it turned into a vanilla bean ball, that made it impossible to really separate each of the tiny seeds.

Oh I’m gonna try this

Curious about this. Bought some beans the other day and have been terrified to do anything with them 😂.

Slice in half and with the back of the knife scrape all the good stuff out

Its the only effective way

This is what I did… but the good stuff is on the back of the knife and when I scraped it off into my bowl of flour it just turned into a ball

Next time dont add it directly to the flour. Add to your wet ingredients first.

I presume you're whipping it all up or beating the mixture somehow? Then wouldn't the beans disperse that way? I've never really had a clumping problem in the final product!

Yeah I was whisking with a fork. However, now that I’ve done the whole thing they actually did all split off into those little iconic black vanilla specks.

Love the einkorn, I grew some einkorn wheat in the backyard this year. Great for sourdough bread

Oh wow 🤩

I actually wanted to try it with sourdough

My fav sourdough is about 10% rye, 40% einkorn, 50% bread flour (unbleached of course)

Oh wow you have it down to the T 🫶🫡
