It's been 5+ yrs since you posted about Turbinado sugar. Chances are you've most likely have used it but I wanted to jump in to tell you what I use Turbinado sugar for. When I make scones I love to brush some heavy cream on them then sprinkle a good amount of the sugar on top before baking. It gives them a nice sweet crunch that I've found missing from scones you can buy. It's a pretty expensive sugar, at least I think it is lol, so I only use it for that application. No matter the flavor of the scones I make the nutty flavor of the sugar has gone well with them. If you make homemade scones I hope you give it a try. Happy baking 🫶

Super easy! Never realized how easy it was to make my own powdered sugar at home! I used coconut sugar and it came out perfectly

Thank you, may I say that I’m such a fan of your cooking that I’m encouraging all my friends and even people I’ve just met to check you out. They, as I are impressed with the diversity of your recipes, my only problem is I don’t have a microwave so I can’t indulge in your one cup mud cake 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just made some today with coconut sugar in my Vitamix for the cream cheese frosting on the pumpkin sheet cake.Ā So easy! I had no idea how easy it was to make my own. Thank you for taking the mystery out of so many things!Ā
