Brown Sugar is one of those things I constantly run out of when I’m baking and although it is said you can replace it with white sugar – it doesn’t have that delicious caramel flavour that brown sugar is so good for! �Now they say that brown sugar should really be made with�Molasses�- but seriously who has that lying around their cupboard, I found Golden Syrup worked a treat!. �So today I’m going to show you how to make brown sugar at home – and it is super easy – you’ll never have to run to the shops again! �You will need:
- 1.5 cups white sugar (plain or caster)
- 2 dessertspoons of Golden Syrup
Place the sugar in a bowl (or if you have an electric mixer – use that!) and add the Golden Syrup. �Mix, mix and mix some more until the syrup is evenly spread throughout the sugar. �It will go a lovely golden colour – much lighter than the normal brown sugar – but you won’t taste the difference in your cooking. �Seal in a jar with a firm lid and keep in your cupboard until needed!

Does this clump together like brown sugar has a way of doing…even in air tight containers???
can you use treacle or molasses instead for a darker brown sugar?
This really isn’t a replacement for brown sugar – brown sugar is less processed than white, so saying this is a replacement for it leads people to believe it has the better health benefits related to using brown rather than white sugar in things, which it in no way is. Rather misleading.
It is only meant for if you run out of it and need some instead of having to go to shops. 🙂
Hi Adele – this is only meant incase you can’t get to the shops. 🙂
