Did you know you can make your own brown sugar?
Add the molasses to the white sugar. Mix well, being sure to scrape down the sides to coat all that nasty white stuff until it’s pleasantly brown. You can do it old school and just go at it with a fork, or an electric mixer will do the job quickly.
It’s that easy! And it tastes and behaves just like store-bought brown sugar, so no more panicky trips to the market.

I can’t tell you how this has changed my life! lol I currently live in France and I haven’t been able to find brown sugar anywhere – but now I make my own!

Now the only time I’ll need to buy brown sugar is when we cure our hams and bacon (I can’t imagine making 25lbs like this!) It worked beautifully when I made a toffee topped cake yesterday. If you want dark brown sugar, I used blackstrap molasses and only added 2 tsp blackstrap/1 cup sugar.

Thanks for the tip. I can’t get good (American) brown sugar here in France, so this is a great tip… Now, where to find molasses may be the problem. I bet I can have someone bring it over to me, if it means chocolate chip cookies (which are just not the same without the brown sugar)!
