Instructions
Preheat the oven to 80C/175F.
Place your beans onto a baking tray and bake for 90 minutes. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes - they should then be brittle enough to break.
Break the baked vanilla beans into small pieces and add to a spice grinder. Grind as finely as possible.
Push through a sieve or fine-mesh strainer then re-grind any of the larger pieces that are leftover.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in a cool place like the pantry.
Substitute ½ tsp of vanilla powder for 1 tsp vanilla extract.
