    Can we use ordinary sugar instead of icing sugar. I don't have the later. By vanilla extract you mean vanilla essence right? I am new to baking…hence these questions.

      you can use normal sugar but powder it before using. Vanilla extract is thicker than essence. Not sure your is pure version but yes you can use essence …1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract = 1½ teaspoons of Vanilla Essence
