I have been in Utah, cooking for various family gatherings, for the last week. My sister has a very plethoric pantry. Being that she has everything that any cook would wish for, I was overwhelmed with excitement, and somehow overlooked the brown sugar. There was no time to run to the store, so I ended up just making a substitute, for the brown sugar, to put in my pumpkin pie. This is a quick “how to” for the brown sugar substitute.
Light Brown Sugar Substitute:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
Dark Brown Sugar Substitute:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
Using a hand mixer, mix the sugar and molasses mixture until evenly incorporated. The more molasses you add, the darker the sugar will be.
