INGREDIENTS

  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons molasses (not blackstrap)

EQUIPMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Measure out the granulated sugar and molasses. Measure 1 cup granulated sugar. Measure 1 tablespoon molasses for light brown sugar or 2 tablespoons for dark brown sugar.

  2. Combine the sugar and molasses. Place the sugar and molasses in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the molasses is completely incorporated into the sugar, about 1 minute.
