Cooking with Eowyn quickie post

I am finally (finally!) back at work after a full week of being snowed in. I was starting to think I wouldn't see the inside of my office again until spring. And weirdly, I am happy to be here. Not that I mind having days off, mind you, but if I'm gonna have free time, I'd much rather be able to go out and DO things. Books, TV, and the internet can ( Read more... )

I used dark brown instead of light brown sugar (is there really much of a difference?)

Not that much.

Heh, I didn't think so.

Ah, very different from my pecan sweet potato recipe. Mine is a casserole dish with layers.

Does yours have marshmallows? Most of the casseroles have marshmallows. Which I like, but it does make it more desserty than side dishy.

No. Although I do make that one just because it's been traditional in our family. That's just mashed up sweet potatoes with some butter, brown sugar, maybe orange juice and/or cinnamon, perhaps raisins in the body. With the marshmallows on top. Depends on my mood and what I have on hand.

The one with the pecans is different. The crushed pecan crust is what makes it so desserty. That and the amounts of butter and sugar that go into it...

The recipe does look yummy. I will have to try it.

Oh, do! It's scrumptious.

Well okay you can make me feel inferior NOW, but you just wait till pancake day.

Hee! But you has a hamster, how can I compete with that?

If I remember right, dark brown sugar is colored with molasses.

mikeda February 13 2010, 12:05:46 UTC

Both types of brown sugar have molasses. Dark brown sugar has a higher proportion of it.

caromiofic February 13 2010, 12:54:28 UTC

Actually, C&H Golden Brown Sugar is naturally brown sugar, not dyed with molasses. If you get a store generic brand, though, it probably will be. If you rub generic sugar grains between your fingers, the molasses dye rubs off.

I never expected this much discussion over brown sugar, lol.
