Calories: 828kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1-2 tbsps molasses (adjust based on whether you want light or dark brown sugar)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the granulated white sugar.
- Start by adding 1 tablespoon of molasses for light brown sugar. If you're aiming for dark brown sugar, go ahead and add the second tablespoon.
- Using a fork or an electric mixer on a low setting, mix the sugar and molasses together. Ensure you blend them thoroughly until the molasses are evenly distributed and the sugar has taken on a brown hue.
- Once mixed, your homemade brown sugar is ready to be used immediately in any recipe. If you're storing it for later, make sure to put it in an airtight container to maintain its moisture.
- Sifting (Optional): If you want a super fine texture, especially for certain delicate baked goods, consider sifting the brown sugar before use.
