Substitutes
Cane molasses is a common ingredient in baking, often used in baked goods such as gingerbread cookies. A number of substitutions can be made for molasses. For a given volume of molasses, one of the following may be used (with varying degrees of success):
- black treacle (which is very similar to molasses)
- honey
- sweet sorghum syrup
- barley malt syrup
- maple syrup
- ¾ of the volume of firmly packed brown sugar, especially soft dark brown sugar
- dark corn syrup
- kecap manis, a sweet, syrupy soy sauce from Indonesia (which is also salted, unlike a sweetener)

Famous quotes containing the word substitutes:
“When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.”
—Miles Franklin (1879–1954)
“The true artist doesn’t substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
