Many people believe that brown sugar is healthier than white sugar. This isn't entirely true but brown sugar does contain a bit more nutrients because of the molasses it contains.
Besides from being the perfect sweet granules which replace white sugar, it can also be used in everyday recipes. A lot of recipes use sugar to avoid or mask sour or bitter flavors. Here are some ways that brown sugar can be used in your meals without giving the food a strange taste.
Brown sugar can be used to crust your food without using bread crumbs and egg. The sugar will give the food a lovely flavor and crunch that can't be replicated with crumbs. This method works best in the oven with different kinds of protein.
Brown sugar is often used in Asian cuisine. Many of these foods involve the sweetened taste because of how many salty foods and sauces get added into the mixture. The sugar takes any overwhelming flavor away.
The best way to use this sugary product is to put it in desserts, of course.
Brown sugar gives biscuits a chewy texture. If you are the type that doesn't enjoy the sweet treat crumbling everywhere then a brown sugar biscuit should work well for you. It works well with baking soda when it comes to giving your homemade treats a professional flavor. It allows the soda to produce more carbon dioxide. This means that more air goes through the dough and ultimately changing the texture to be fluffy and soft. The sugar also allows the dough you have made to set quicker than if you had used white sugar because of its acidic content. You will also notice that when the biscuit is cooked it is much higher because there is more air inside the dough.
You can also use brown sugar to complement other ingredients in different dishes. When using the sugar with nuts such as pecan and almond nuts, it masks the hint of bitterness and adds a delightful flavor. Can you imagine how amazing this combination would be once mixed together? Amazing!
In all recipes you will see that the dish requires cooking oil no matter what the ingredients are. The cooking oil helps with the bonding of the ingredients and acts as a lubricant when placing it in a pan or pot. Follow the recipes closely when cooking. That way you will ensure that whatever you're baking will be fantastic.
