Well, we're gearing back up post baby, a little slowly, but back on track! Thanks for sticking with me!
I ran across the recipe for brown sugar some time ago, but
had no need to ever try it, since brown sugar is so inexpensive. Last night, however, I needed half a cup of
brown sugar and found my pantry lacking.
I did have granulated sugar and molasses, which are the only ingredients
you need.
You will need
1 cup granulated sugar ($3.29 per 5 lb, $3.29/80oz = $.04 x
7.5oz = $.31)
1 Tbsp molasses (2 Tbsp for dark brown sugar) ($3.45 per 12fl.oz, $3.45/12fl.oz = $.29 x .5fl.oz = $.14)
 |
| Before... |
Put the sugar in a small bowl and drizzle the molasses over
it. Mix with a fork until fully
incorporated.
For real, that’s it.
 |
| ...and after. So simple! |
Try It
$.45 per cup.
Buy It
$.37 per cup.
Verdict
This took no time, but it’s still more expensive than store
bought. I will continue to Buy It for the most part, but it's still a great trick to have up your sleeve in a pinch!
That is a handy tip. It does seem kind of pointless to buy the separate ingredients for the point of putting it back together. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't use brown sugar that often, so I always use this mix. The specific amounts aren't critical, just slop some molasses in along with the rest of the ingredients.
