Homemade Dark Brown Sugar
In this post I will show you how you can make light and dark homemade brown sugar at home. In case you ever run out of brown sugar or just can not get it where you live, I got you with this super easy and quick recipe.
Ingredients
- 450 g White Sugar
- 4 tablespoon Molasses Cut this amount in half for light version (or treacle)
Instructions
- To a medium sized bowl add the sugar.
- Next, get a tablespoon and add the molasses to the sugar. Be careful when taking the molasses out of the jar as it acts like honey and wants to run everywhere. When adding it to the sugar I like to spread it out over the sugar and not drop it in at one spot. Spreading it out will make the mixing easier.
- Next you will have to mix the two ingredients. Don't hold back and get in there with your (clean) hands! Alternatively use a food processor with a dough attachment if you own one. This is the fastest way to make your brown sugar.
- Add more molasses to the mixture if you want your brown sugar even darker.
- Store the sugar in an air-tight container for months.
Notes
- Make it light brown sugar: If you prefer light brown sugar then simply add half the amount of molasses.
- Storage: Your newly mixed sugar can be stored in an air-tight container for months. Add a slice of white bread to the container to keep it dry which keep the sugar from sticking together and form a huge clump. Make sure to replace the slice of bread every few weeks with a fresh one. It is still recommended to use your sugar quickly as the bread will not completely avoid the clumping. If your sugar starts clumping up simply shake your container till it falls apart again.
