Brown Sugar
Many baking recipes call for brown sugar, but if you find yourself without it (or if it’s turned into a hard block in your cabinet), making your own is pretty simple.
Gemma Stafford, chef of Gemma’s Bigger Bolder Baking explains that you only need two ingredients to make your own brown sugar: white sugar and molasses. Stafford’s instructions for DIY brown sugar include guidance on making both light and dark versions, so head on over to Gemma’s Bigger Bolder Baking for the scoop.
