I don't like to use imitation vanilla. However, if you do use it, you should use about one-half more of the measurement because it is not as concentrated as pure extract.
I confess I cannot find real vanilla that I love this side of the Mexican border, though. (What is it about Mexican vanilla, anyway? Nothing compares). I tried both the paste and the liquid from Williams-Sonoma but I was not impressed. The paste in particular tasted very mediciney.
