Question from P. Wicks
Hi again! Just wondering if you know about using maple sugar. I wonder if you can use it in place of brown sugar and if there are any ratios to deal with, like 1 cup maple sugar to 1 cup of brown sugar.
Thanks–

You can use maple sugar one for one for white or brown sugar. It adds very little maple flavor.
I haven’t used it in recipes on this website because it is just as refined as eating white cane sugar. Refined white sugar is made by boiling the juice of sugar cane until it is clarified and granulated. Maple sugar is made by boiling the sap of the maple tree until it is clarified and granulated.
Maple sugar is also difficult to find and is very expensive.
