Vanilla Bean Hard Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 whole vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 cup butter (I use real butter,it tastes better) or 1 cup margarine, softened (I use real butter,it tastes better)

Preparation

Note: one 6 inch vanilla bean equals about 1 tablespoon extract,if you want to substitute extract for vanilla bean.
But using the vanilla bean seeds is so much more tasty!
Scrape tiny vanilla beads into sugar,stir well.
Combine with buter into mixing bowl.
Beat at medium speed of electric mixture until well blended.
Serve on Apple Berry Cobbler (another Recipezaar recipe),or any other fruit pie,pound cakes,etc.
