Questions about Sugar
How do you make caramel with sugar?
Melt sugar in a clean, heavy-based pan over medium heat, swirling the pan rather than stirring once it starts colouring. Take it off the heat when it is deep amber; caramel is extremely hot and can burn badly.
How should you store sugar so it does not go hard?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and strong-smelling foods. If brown sugar has hardened, seal it with a slice of bread for a few hours, then remove the bread.
Can you replace sugar with honey in baking?
Not in equal amounts without changing the recipe: honey adds moisture and browns faster. For cakes, use about three-quarters as much honey by weight as sugar, reduce other liquid slightly and lower the oven temperature by roughly 10–15 °C.
What does sugar do in cakes besides make them sweet?
Sugar helps cakes retain moisture, encourages a tender crumb and helps them brown. Creaming it with softened butter also traps air, so use the texture and mixing time specified in the recipe.
How do you dissolve sugar in cold drinks?
Granulated sugar dissolves slowly in cold liquid. Stir it into a little hot water first to make a syrup, or use caster sugar, which dissolves more readily.
Is brown sugar different from white sugar in baking?
Brown sugar contains molasses, which gives it a deeper flavour and makes it more moist and packable than white sugar. In recipes such as cookies, swapping one for the other can change both the flavour and texture.
How do you make sugar syrup for drinks and desserts?
Warm equal weights of sugar and water in a pan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved; there is no need to boil it. Cool the syrup before adding it to drinks, fruit or sponge cakes.
