Sugar & juicer hack, castor/icing/brown

Effician

Don't know if this has been covered before but it's a great way to save a few pennies when baking etc.

Started doing this when i didn't have the right sugars, ----  half fill nutri bullet ( lots of other versions around) container with cheap granulated suger &

blitz for about 15 seconds , this should give you castor sugar, keep blitzing for a further 15-25 sec for icing sugar.

For brown sugar add some black treacle, can be a bit tricky to get it to mix but does work,  or drop it into the recipe mix as an extra ingredient.

oh thank you, I've done the caster\icing sugar one before but never heard of the black tricle one.

Had tried it before i mentioned it to a fella that worked at a sugar mill,  apparently golden caster sugar etc is just white sugar with a  spray coating of mollases ( black treacle ).Don't expect it to make finest muscavado though
