Creme Brulee Sugar Topping

Creme Brulee Sugar Topping

Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients:

1 cup Light Brown Sugar

1 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Yes, it is 200.
2. Place a piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Spread the light brown sugar out on top of it.
3. Place the light brown sugar into the oven for about 30-40 minutes. The goal is to remove the moisture from the sugar; it should be dry and crispy.
4. Once the sugar is done, pour/push it through a mesh strainer into a medium sized bowl to get the large chunks out. Try to break up the chunks. If you can't, just throw them out.
5. Mix the light brown sugar with the granulated sugar. 
6. Store in an airtight container. It will not go bad and you can use it for all future Brulees.

I was a little skeptical of this recipe at first; but I am very glad that I tried it. It really was better then the plain granulated sugar topping and the vanilla sugar topping. You can definitely make less of it at first, though. I now have a large jar of Brulee sugar. I guess that just means that I need to make a lot more Brulees! lol
