Hello Daphne
In France, such bags of "sucre vanillé" contains approximately 10 grams (1/3 oz) : precisely 7.5 grams. If you cannot find any or if you use it quite often, do it yourself : buy natural vanilla beans for making custard or other desserts and keep the empty beans (you have used the inside seeds for your custard or other desserts) you keep into a closed pot with caster sugar : the beans will flavour the sugar after a few weeks

Thank you for your prompt and helpful response.

I have to tell you, getting a response to my question, from a stranger, so far away - feels like magic!

I'm sitting alone, in front of my computer, grinning, feeling like I just got the best gift ever (your answer/not the computer).

I am blushing ... fortunately, I am (also) sitting alone in front of my computer in Paris (it is lunchtime and I have no time for lunch today : a shame for a French gastronom !!!).
Just for my information, what kind of pie (or other ?) do you have in mind with your "pâte sablée" ?

On top of this page, click on "recipes" then on any of the parts of the meals (starters, meat, fish, desserts ...) you want, you will find French exclusive recipes.
PS: What is the meaning of your last words (dude or dudete) ?

Hi Jay
This recipe is the one of the pastry AS A BASE for some desserts. Of course, it is not intented to be eaten by itself.
This is why we did not address any cooking detail because it will depend what you do with the pastry : to go recipes of tarts using such pastry and you will find cooking instructions
