Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat together the butter, sugar, and vanilla seeds until fluffy. Add flour, milk, and salt; beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape the dough into a cloth piping bag fitted with a 1⁄2-inch star tip and pipe 2 1⁄2-inch pretzel shapes onto baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden on the bottom, about 16 minutes.
