Nice! Welcome.

@MotherofOrpies thank you for the recipe, copied into my "gotta try it" cookbook.

Couple of questions: the 1 envelope of vanilla - how much vanilla is that? 1/2 teaspoon?
and how much is 1 pkg of vanilla sugar?

Ich use pure milled vanilla, which would be about the tip of a knife, and a envelope of vanilla sugar would be about 10g

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but here in Wyoming there’s no such thing as those packets. So I wonder what we’d do to make the recipe.

Did you ever have Shoo Fly Pie?

Make me sing that song all day. Make me sing it all night.
Shoo fly pie
And apple pandowdy
Makes your eyes pop out,
And your tummy say, “howdy!”
Shoo fly pie
and apple pandowdy
I can’t get enough
Of that wonderful stuff!

I found some beef stew. I wanted dumplings, but don’t have butter. I give you BACON (fat was in the freezer) sourdough dumplings. So good!

The tip of the knife sounds like vanilla paste, which makes sense with the rest of the ingredients. I remember my mom using vanilla paste when making wedding cakes - she would add a "tip of the knife" measure.
Vanilla sugar I can make. I have some vanilla beans just begging to be made into vanilla sugar for my tea.

@MotherofOrpies Thanks for the measurement descriptions.
