Brown Sugar Recipe

Brown sugar is simply a less-refined stage of ordinary granulated sugar, and molasses is a byproduct of the refinement process. To make brown sugar, it's just a matter of adding the molasses back into the granulated sugar — sort of like refining it in reverse.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp molasses

Preparation:

  1. Combine the sugar and molasses in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
  2. Store in an airtight container.
Makes 1 cup brown sugar.
