Hi Emily,Melissa Murphy here, you don't need to post this comment, but can you check where it says for the vanilla sugar... it says to "combine the salt and scraped pod..." I am not sure where the salt is coming from...It might be confusing. I don't want them to take it out of the recipe itself. email me at melissa@sweetmelissapatisserie.com. Thanks a bunch! And thanks for choosing to feature my book!

I was thinking of trying this recipe but the comments have me wondering about the vanilla sugar. Is there salt in the vanilla sugar or is there not? I can't tell one way or the other. Thanks for any info that might be provided.

I made these muffins last night with pineapple. Instead of having chunks of cut up pineapple in them, I processed fresh pineapple and added that to the batter, and accordingly cut back on the amount of whole milk. They tasted great, but all my muffins sank in the middle. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
