Remarks

You will notice that the dough is very liquid, so it shouldn't be made too far in advance otherwise flour could sink to the bottom. Likewise, you should be careful not to let it become lumpy, so beat thoroughly.

If you don't have vanilla sugar, use normal caster sugar.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
