Piloncillo is made from pure, unrefined sugar that is pressed into a cone shape. It tastes very similar to brown sugar with a molasses flavour (even though it does not contain molasses) and you can use it for anything that calls for brown sugar. Its name means "little pylon" because of its shape. The smaller cones are usually around 1 ounce and the larger ones around 8 ounces. They come in light, "blanco" and dark "oscuro."
