Question:
I always use vegan cane sugar. Is the clear vanillan still organic?
— Cathy Chapman
Answer:
Well, Kathy, that's part of the reason that your pudding isn't white. It's not just the vanilla extract, it's the molasses in the cane sugar. And is the white vanilla still organic? It's not white vanilla, it's clear vanilla. And I don't actually know if there, I don't know if there's an organic version of, of vanilla in, but have a look and see and see. I'm trying to think what you can do to make it white. My vanilla creams and vanilla puddings. I wouldn't say that they're gray, so you know how to reach me. Anybody here who has any further questions, just write to me at fran@rouxbe.com and I'll be happy to answer your question to the extent that I can or follow me on Instagram, um, at Good Cakes, Fran, and you can DM me, whichever works.
