Ingredients

Light Brown sugar

• 1 Cup (8 oz/240g) white sugar
• 1 teaspoons molasses (treacle)

Dark Brown sugar

• 1 Cup (8 oz/240g) white sugar
• 2 teaspoons molasses (treacle)

Instructions

1. Combine sugar and molasses in a mixing bowl. Using your fingertips rub in the molasses until the molasses is completely incorporated and the sugar turns brown.
2. Store in an air-tight container for months. Because of the moisture, brown sugar has a tendency to clump together, to prevent this add a slice of white bread in the container and that will keep the sugar dry and fine.
