Homemade Light and Dark Brown Sugar

from ButterYum

makes 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup white granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon unsulphured molasses (double for dark brown sugar)

Directions

1. Place ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and combine on medium speed for 5 minutes; stopping once to scrape paddle and bowl.

2. Transfer brown sugar to an airtight container with a dampened sugar saver.

Notes

• Soak sugar saver in water for about 20 minutes, then dry the surface before placing in brown sugar. When dry, re-soak and use it again and again.

• I suggest using unsulphured molasses for this recipe. Blackstrap molasses is more bitter in flavor.

• The only difference between light and dark brown sugar is the amount of molasses used; dark brown sugar contains twice the amount of molasses.
