Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 TBS molasses

Instructions

Add the granulated sugar and molasses to a medium bowl.
Work them together until the mixture is no longer clumpy and the color is evenly dispersed throughout. This may take several minutes.

Notes

Press out the clumps - Press the clumps of molasses against the side of the bowl with your rubber spatula to spread them out and mix them into the sugar.

Use a Food Processor - You can also use a food processor to make your brown sugar, which will save your arms a bit of work. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl a few times as you mix to prevent the molasses from clumping anywhere in the food processor.
