Ingredients

250 gms Sugar of choice
15 gms Molasses / treacle

Instructions

**Gather Your Ingredients:**
Measure the amount of granulated sugar you need for your recipe. The ratio for making brown sugar is typically one tablespoon of molasses or treacle for every one cup of granulated sugar.
**Add Sugar to the Thermomix Bowl:**
Pour the measured granulated sugar into the Thermomix bowl.
**Add Molasses or Treacle:**
Measure the required amount of molasses or treacle (one tablespoon for every cup of granulated sugar) and add it to the Thermomix bowl with the sugar.
**Blend and Mix:**
Place the lid securely on the Thermomix bowl.
Start the Thermomix at a low speed, around Speed 2, to prevent any splattering.
Gradually increase the speed to a higher setting, typically Speed 4 or 5, and let the Thermomix mix the sugar and molasses or treacle for about 10-15 seconds. During this time, the ingredients will combine thoroughly.
**Check the Texture:**
Pause the Thermomix and check the texture of the brown sugar. It should have a moist, clumpy texture resembling brown sugar. If it's not quite there, run the Thermomix for a few more seconds until you achieve the desired texture.
**Store or Use:**
Carefully remove the homemade brown sugar from the Thermomix bowl.
Use it immediately in your recipe or store it in an airtight container for future use.

Notes

**Tips:**

- Be cautious when opening the Thermomix lid after processing the brown sugar, as it may be slightly sticky, and there could be some sugar clinging to the lid.

Making your own brown sugar in a Thermomix is a convenient solution for baking when you don't have store-bought brown sugar available. It allows you to create the perfect texture and sweetness level for your recipes. Homemade brown sugar is versatile and can be used in a wide range of baked goods, from cookies and cakes to sauces and marinades.
