why use molasses
Molasses has more bite and flavor than golden syrup.
Substitutes which can be used :
black treacle (which is very similar to molasses)
honey
dark corn syrup
maple syrup
¾ of the volume of firmly packed brown sugar, especially soft dark brown sugar.
As a child we were given a spoonful of molasses with milk when we were sick.
According to wikipedia
“it contains trace amounts of vitamins and significant amounts of several minerals. Blackstrap molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron; one tablespoon provides up to 20% of the daily value of each of those nutrients.[3]
