So, I read of vanilla, heat your milk on the side and scrape in a vanilla bean allow that to meld on low heat, you don’t want it to boil, just below a simmer for a few minutes. Also I stead of powdered sugar, brush on some homemade icing like the old hostess pies. I think I need to rewrite this whole recipe lol
