I recently received a cookbook with quite
a few recipes for Muscovado Sugar what is it and where do I get it? -
(5/15/01)
Muscovado sugar (also
called Barbados or moist sugar) : Muscovado sugar, a
British specialty brown sugar, is very dark brown and has a
particularly strong molasses flavor. The crystals are
slightly coarser and stickier in texture than "regular"
brown sugar.
Light and Dark brown muscovado sugars contain molasses; the darker the color is, the more molasses and therefore the stronger the flavour. They are used in the same way as light and dark brown soft sugars. Substitution: If you
can’t get muscovado, use a good quality dark brown
sugar. |
