Homemade Brown Sugar

There's two things you can't skimp on when your baking and that's your Vanilla extract and your Brown Sugar (there used to be three, but there's some pretty decent butter substitutes out there now a days) You need to have the very best of each, and that means you have to make it yourself :)   Brown sugar is surprisingly simple to put together, and after you get in the habit of preparing it, you'll never go back to store-bought.  It's inexpensive to make and has a much richer taste :)  you'll need:

•  1 cup regular granulated white sugar
•  1 tablespoon molasses (2 for a dark brown sugar)

Just mash it together in a bowl with a folk, store in an airtight container until ready to use :)   YES it's really that simple :)
