Can you substitute light brown
sugar for dark brown?
Q: If a recipe calls for "light brown sugar"
can you use "dark brown sugar" instead? Or is there
a definite reason to use one or the other? Thanks, Darlene
A: Hi Darlene, The two brown sugars are interchangeable
in recipes calling for brown sugar. For a delicate caramel flavor,
use light brown sugar and for a richer, old-time molasses taste
and deeper color, use dark brown sugar. When in doubt or if it's
not specified, you might choose light brown sugar as it is the
more commonly used of the two.
Happy holidays and enjoy the
