| 1 | When a recipe calls for brown sugar, which one should I use? I have been using soft brown sugar and that seems to work ok, but wondered whether I should be using something else. This is for baking biscuits and slices. Thank you. lyndunc - 2019-03-24 16:11:00 |
| 2 | Brown sugar is brown sugar. Soft or hard is still brown sugar. Edited by coolnzmum at 4:14 pm, Sun 24 Mar coolnzmum - 2019-03-24 16:13:00 |

| 4 | The only other ones I can think of would be Raw or maybe Demerra or Muscavado sugars. And they would be specified if needed in a recipe. And too expensive (last 2 anyway) to be used as brown sugar. dibble35 - 2019-03-24 19:29:00 |
| 5 | Yes, I was thinking raw sugar versus soft brown sugar I guess. I made some chocolate chip cookies with soft brown sugar and they turned out fine. It might come down to which one is cheaper! lyndunc - 2019-03-25 11:08:00 |
| 6 | Raw sugar is different to brown sugar. jallen2 - 2019-03-25 11:18:00 |
| 7 | As above. In baking, sugar is sugar, as it is generally mixed with a high volume of other ingredients, but in coffee, where you can actually taste the sugar, I steer well clear of establishments where they only do white sugar. It cheapens the coffee! socram - 2019-03-25 13:20:00 |

| 10 | Thank you, will stick with the soft brown sugar. lyndunc - 2019-03-26 00:28:00 |
| 11 | I have experimented with a plain biscuit recipe and used different sugars to show pupils how the same recipe can have totally different outcomes.Some are crunchy,some soft,some very sweet,some quite bland,but generally speaking if it says brown sugar it means the soft one and would state raw or muscavado if otherwise. pooh01 - 2019-03-26 10:30:00 |
