I live and bake by this product,  I am a home baker and ever since I started using this paste I have given up the traditional extract, which has a more alcohol flavor.  this is the warm vanilla flavor that you are looking for as it uses actual vanilla beans in your dish.  The paste is more liquid then you imagine when you think of the word paste, but this makes it better for pouring, measuring etc anyway.  It mixes in better this way as well.  I have this on auto subscription, as I really do need this every 3 months.  Use it in pancakes, waffles, cakes, any pastries or dessert dishes to give it a warm delectable vanilla flavor.  My next thing with this will be vanilla ice cream, which I can't believe i have not done yet.  Definitely a necessary product in my pantry.  Buy it!  You will never want to use extract again.
