Homemade Brown Sugar
To make your own brown sugar just follow these very easy and quick steps:
To make light brown sugar:
In a medium mixer bowl combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tbs of molasses( my favorite is Brer Rabbit available on Amazon https://amzn.to/47ZeR4U ). Mix thoroughly until very well combined.
That’s it!! Super simple and a recipe saver when you suddenly realize you have no brown sugar in your pantry.
If your looking for a darker more robust brown sugar, simply add 2 tbs of molasses and follow the same directions.
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or bag.
