No marzipan? For me the epitome of Stollen is the marzipan running through the centre!
This worked really well and taste like Dresdner Christmas Stollen. Thank you. Need to make sure not to eat too much, now that I know how much butter and icing sugar is in there.
8g per packet. You can buy it on Amazon! It's great stuff. http://www.amazon.co.uk/German-Oetker-Vanilla-Sugar-Pack/dp/B003RFWN9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417289549&sr=8-1&keywords=vanilla+sugar
Re antje's stollen. When she writes 'packets' of vanilla sugar - can you tell me how many grams in each packet
