Brown Sugar

Ingredients

• Granulated Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Light Brown Sugar

Light brown sugar is made by adding a small amount of molasses to refined white sugar, which results in a moist sugar with a rich caramel flavor. (To make your own, add 1 tablespoon of molasses to 1 cup of white sugar and mix with a fork or your hands until fully combined.)


Dark Brown Sugar

Dark brown sugar is made by adding a greater amount of molasses to refined white sugar than is required to make light brown sugar. The result is a dark brown, very moist sugar with a rich molasses flavor. (To make dark brown sugar, add 2 tablespoons of molasses to 1 cup of white sugar and mix with a fork or your hands until fully combined.)
