Choosing the right sugar for your recipes is crucial as it significantly influences the taste and texture of your final product. Pirouette Sugar from Mauritius offers a diverse range of specialty sugars that cater to various recipes and tastes.
Molasses: A key ingredient in many of our products, this thick, dark, and sticky syrup is made by extracting juice from sugarcane and concentrating it. Our molasses-based sugars, which include the Pirouette Dark Muscovado, Pirouette Dark Brown Sugar, Pirouette Light Muscovado, Extra Light Muscovado Sugar, and Pirouette Fine Caster Sugar, each come with a unique flavor profile.
Muscovado sugar: Pirouette Sugar from Mauritius is renowned for its special unrefined brown sugar. It is used in baking and as a sweetener for drinks. You can choose from Dark, Light, or Extra Light Muscovado, depending on how much molasses flavour and aroma is desired. While Dark muscovado provides the deepest, chocolatiest flavour perfect for decadent cakes and fudgy brownies, light muscovado provides a rich toffee flavour, and Extra Light Muscovado a lighter, caramel-butterscotch flavour which makes it a great choice for gingerbread biscuits and gravies.
Soft Brown sugar: Brown sugar can be of the refined or unrefined variety. Pirouette takes pride in offering truly unrefined brown sugar with various molasses and moisture levels. Unlike other brown sugars that go through refinement first before adding molasses back, Pirouette creates its soft dark brown sugar by leaving the molasses in during production. This method gives our sugar a much richer and more integrated flavour. Its moist texture makes it perfect for baking, especially for recipes such as cakes, gingerbread, cookies, and brownies, which call for a rich, moist texture.
Demerara sugar: Golden-brown sugar that has large, light-brown crystals and a subtle molasses flavour. Pirouette sets itself apart from other brands by offering truly unrefined demerara sugars. In contrast to the common practice of refining demerara sugars and subsequently adding molasses for color, Pirouette’s demerara sugars retain their natural unrefined qualities. Its versatile use ranges from serving as a topping for cereals and baking to creating caramel and sweetening coffee and tea.
Granulated sugar: Granulated sugar, the most widely used type of sugar, finds its place in a wide range of recipes. From baking and cooking to serving as a sweetener for various beverages, its versatility knows no bounds. It is a fine, white powder and dissolves easily.
Caster sugar: Caster sugar, also referred to as superfine sugar, is the result of grinding granulated sugar until it reaches a fine consistency. finely granulated sugar is a favorite in baking and culinary applications due to its easy-dissolving nature. Its uses are widespread – from making meringues, icings, and other light desserts, to subtly sweetening marinades, dressings, and sauces without introducing a molasses flavor. It’s also a popular choice for sweetening beverages, thanks to its quick dissolving properties. Caster sugar is a caster sugar with smaller particle size, and hence an even quicker dissolving ability.
Powdered sugar: Icing sugar, also recognized as confectioners’ sugar, comes from grinding caster or granulated sugar into a powdery consistency. Its smooth texture and easy dissolving nature make it a popular choice for sweetening frostings, icings, and various other desserts.
Maple Syrup: Maple syrup, derived from the sap of maple trees, serves as a natural sweetener. Its highly prized caramel flavor, distinctive to maple syrup, makes it a valuable ingredient in baking, breakfast dishes, and as a delectable topping. Maple syrup is frequently employed as a replacement for sugar in recipes that seek to incorporate the desired maple flavor.
Honey: Natural sweetener made by bees from the nectar of flowers. Honey possesses a unique and complex flavor profile, making it a popular choice for baking, sauces, and marinades. Using honey in baking recipes may pose a slight challenge due to its liquid consistency. However, it can serve as a substitute for liquid sweeteners in specific instances.
