Cooking with honey

Adjusting a recipe to substitute HONEY for sugar

In general, HONEY can be substituted for sugar in baking by following these tips:

·      Replace every 1 c. sugar with ¾ c. honey (because honey is sweeter than sugar).

·      If possible, reduce the liquid content of the recipe by ¼ c. for every cup of honey used. I’ve found that it isn’t necessary, though, when there is no liquid in the recipe (milk or water).

·      Add ¼ - ½ tsp. soda to the recipe (to balance the increased acidity of the recipe when honey is added. This will help it to rise better.)

·      Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Farenheit.  (Honey tends to caramelize and burn faster than sugar at higher temperatures.)
