Haole Brownies

I had made mention of these bar cookies a bit ago:What are you baking today (2023)?

I just love them!

Excellent ingredient choice!

You can make your own brown sugar from granulated white by mixing 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 Tbsp molasses for light brown or 2 Tbsp molasses for dark brown. It's probably best to mix with your fingers.

There are brown sugars of various names worldwide. As long as the color of the sugar is golden brown to dark brown, you are good.

Obviously, brown sugar can be used in sweets, but there are lots and lots of recipes using beef, poultry, seafood, vegan/vegetarian options. In fact, I found an Asian recipe using ground beef while browsing that I intend to try very soon.

Brown sugar is used in BBQ rubs, particularly for pork. I often use it in my rib rubs.

I know. Craig uses it for his pulled pork rub. I think he also uses it in his muffin tin chicken thighs.

You'll need to use your imagination for what this looks like. I've not found any real non-dairy alternative for mascarpone.

The glazed ham I’m making for Easter will use brown sugar I’m sure.

We’d eat that by the heaping tablespoon when I was a kid. I may or may not still do that from time to time…

Me too

Brown sugar on grapefruit.

Under the grill, so that it caramelises and warms the grapefruit through is lovely

I think we may be speaking of different meanings of "brown sugar".

It's really good, I prefer it over regular table sugar.
