Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp (20g) unsulphured molasses

Instructions:

  1. Measure 200g granulated white sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Note: Use a bowl larger than you think you need to prevent sugar flying everywhere.
  2. Drizzle 20g molasses over the center of the sugar.
  3. Incorporate using a fork, pressing the molasses into the crystals until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  4. Scrape the bottom of the bowl frequently to ensure no white pockets remain.
  5. Check for molasses pearls—tiny dark beads that need to be crushed.
  6. Switch to a whisk if you want a lighter, fluffier texture until the color is completely uniform.
  7. Sift the mixture through your fingers to feel for any lingering hard bits.
  8. Store immediately in an airtight container to prevent the air from stealing the moisture.
