Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp Molasses

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine one cup of granulated sugar with one tablespoon of molasses.
    Cane sugar with molasses poured over top.
  • Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together until the molasses is evenly distributed throughout the sugar. I find it is much easier to just use your hands for this process.
