Click here   Beyond Vanilla: Extracts, Oils, and Waters That Can Improve Your Baking Inventing a recipe from the ground up is hard work, but doctoring a family favorite is easy. With a few drops of pure extracts, essential oils, and floral waters, you can breathe new life into old desserts, without having to worry about altering their chemistry. Below are a few of our favorites. Get the full story here.  We love the nuance and character of King Arthur Flour Espresso Powder, which is perfect for adding a well-defined coffee flavor to desserts.  Rose water can be added to taste to literally anything, from a classic panna cotta to whipped Greek yogurt with honey. We use it most often as a floral alternative to vanilla in fruity desserts.  Almond extract can be added to a wide range of desserts. Start small for a soft, nutty aroma that highlights the flavors of butter, vanilla, caramel, stone fruit, and spice; or keep at it until the almond comes through loud and clear.
