First, let’s clear the air: brown sugar is not some exotic health food. It’s basically white sugar with a splash of molasses added back in. And that’s exactly why it’s a magical ingredient to play with.
That molasses gives brown sugar a depth—a rich, almost buttery note that white sugar simply can’t muster. Think of it as the difference between a plain handshake and a warm, lingering hug.
You can substitute it one-for-one in almost any recipe, and suddenly, your desserts taste like they took a vacation to a cozy cabin in the woods. Yes, please.
