Tired of buying baking basics?? Like brown sugar?!
Look no further folks, because today I'm going to show you how to make it from scratch!
This is SO easy, you won't even need a measuring cup.
First, throw some sugar in a bowl. (I'm using my Kitchen Aid mixer, but any receptical will do.)
Next, drizzle in a few tablespoons worth of molasses. (Molasses is a wonderful sweetener and I recommend EVERYONE stock some!)
Now you mix. (Either in a fancy apparatus like this, or by hand.)
Lastly, dump it into a storage container. (This blue-lidded Tupperware container has happily held my family's brown sugar for decades.)
The amount of molasses you use will determine it's darkness. For light brown sugar, use less and for dark brown sugar, use more. :) See? SO EASY!!
Now, if you find yourself in a pickle the night before Thanksgiving and all the stores are already closed, you can still make the perfect pumpkin pie! (Though a little early planning would do the trick too. ;)
As a sign of your appreciation, I'd love it if you'd share this article with all of your potentially unprepared friends. Thanks for stopping by and...
Happy Baking!! :D
