Vanilla substitute?
Would almond extract be a good substitute for vanilla extract in, say, a
brownie recipe? I love the smell of almonds, so want to try it. If it is OK, would it be an equal sub, that is 1 tsp = 1 tsp? Thanks, Tom |

It's also not a very good substitute, but might be good in its own right. I use almond extract in fruit dishes, especially with cherries or peaches. Bob |

If you insist on doing it, I would think more in terms of drops of almost extract replacing teaspoons of vanilla. That stuff is a lot more powerful. |

No it would not make a good substitute, it would make a nice addition. In most recipes you need the vanilla as a part of the flavor foundation. Dimitri |

For chocolate brownies you really don't need vanilla extract... 99% of folks would not realize the vanilla extract is missing from anything chocolate unless you told them... in fact I would prefer it was omitted. Add a little extra cocoa if you desire, everyone desires extra chawklit. Almond extract is not good with chocolate either. Add a shot of cointreau if you must... don't have cointreau add a couple spoons frozen orange juice concentrate... a couple spoons orange marmalade will work too... mandarin chawklit is great. Um, I'll have my chawklit brownie topped with nilla ice cream though, and a couple candied kumquats. I love that word, love how it rolls off my tongue... kum-quats. LOL Sheldon |
