Brown Sugar Substitute |
|
|
Did you know that Brown Sugar is really only White Sugar with Molasses mixed in with it? I was so surprised when I found that out. I feel so clever when I mix my own batch of brown sugar for baking etc. It is so simple, saves storage space, and is much cheaper.
For 1 cup of brown sugar I add approximately 1 Tbsp of molasses. I add more or less molasses depending if I want the light brown sugar or the dark. No more worries now when I don't have enough brown sugar for that recipe. I never seem to run out of white sugar, but always of brown sugar.
Happy Baking!

Brown sugar is not as refined as white sugar, the molasses is debunked now !

RE: Brown Sugar Substitute
How do you make the brown sugar? Do you heat up the molasses and stir it into the white sugar? It seems the molasses would be too thick to coat the white sugar properly. I appreciate any help to this question.

White sugar is just brown sugar with the molasses removed from it at the refinery.

thank you sue, I did not know that, Does anyone know if muscovado sugar is just white with something added?
Editor's Note
Here is an article about Muscovado. It looks like it is a natural process.

The brown sugar that R. Smith is speaking of is "sugar in the raw" and that IS less refined that white sugar. I too have been making my own brown sugar for years.

I've made my own brown sugar for years and don't bother buying it in the grocery store.
I also make my own confectioners' sugar with a high speed blender and mix a small amount of cornstarch along with it.

Tip: Brown Sugar Substitute
Mix one tablespoon molasses with one cup of plain white sugar. If you want a darker brown sugar, add more molasses. I don't buy brown sugar anymore as I prefer this to the commercial brown sugar.
