Homemade vanilla sticks

I love this recipe for vanilla bars. It's a recipe I've made time and time again and everyone loves it. The vanilla bars are crunchy and sweet and the vanilla flavor is very intense. They are the perfect gift at Christmas time or just for snacking in between.

Directions

35 min.
1. Step

To make the vanilla bars recipe, first sift the flour into a bowl and add the salt. I find it best to sift the flour to avoid lumps and achieve a better consistency.

2. Step

Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour. Then add the sugar and egg yolk.

3. Step

Cut the vanilla pods open lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add to the bowl.

4. Step

Knead all the ingredients into a smooth dough using your hands or a dough hook. I find it best to knead the dough with your hands to ensure that all the ingredients are well mixed.

5. Step

Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

6. Step

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.

7. Step

Take the dough out of the fridge and shape it into a roll on a floured surface. Then cut into sticks about 1 cm wide.

8. Step

Place the sticks on the prepared baking tray, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

9. Step

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them during baking as they can burn quickly.

10. Step

After baking, leave the vanilla bars to cool completely on a wire rack.
