Usually i do two teaspoons, and that works out fine for me...

I would argue against subbing out the real vanilla bean, tho. Extract is good, but real bean is a whole other level of delicious. If the recipe does not require that you cut it open and use the seeds, you can reuse the bean indefinitely too, so it is really a great investment.

Yeah, that's what I do. Sometimes I even add more vanilla, as in the case of chocolate chip sookies.

Taste. Depending upon what kind of a volume of recipe you are making...add the smallest amount of pure vanilla extract. Blend it in and taste the mix. Add more vanilla per your own taste preference.
