MexLuis Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Cooking up a storm and running low on supplies. Does anyone know where to find NOB brown (light and dark) sugars? I have tried Moscovado sugar, and it messed up a few of my favorite recipes. You may message me if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Liana Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 If Soriana has both light and dark brown sugar--the kinds normally used in the USA and Canada--I'm impressed. I've never seen either in any Mexican supermarket or municipal market. If you find them, could you take a picture of both packages? I'd like to see what you've found--so I know what to look for should I go to Soriana. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calexico Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I've seen both at Pancho's (several months ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I have found that the Mexican brown sugars work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does for many things..... but just like white azucar estandar it would NOT work for baking recipes that require creaming the butter and sugar together (eg many cookies and cakes etc) because in both cases the individual grains are too large and do not combine into the light, fluffy mix required in those cases. I learned this the hard way years ago trying white estandar , and had to resort to the more expensive, "whiter", and finer grained azucar refinada. Thankfully have allowed myself permission to retire from baking 🤣 so have never had to worry about that since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 My solution was to make my own. It's a simple mix of Molasses and white sugar and it makes perfect brown sugar, same as what we are used to purchasing in the US. I can post proportions if someone is interested, or you can find it easily on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
