Useful Tips when Baking with Honey

Substitute 1 cup of honey for 1 cup of sugar

For each cup of honey substitute, also do the following:

· Decrease amount of liquids by 1/4 cup of honey used.
· If recipe does not call for liquid, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of flour
· Add 1/2 tsp baking soda for each cup of honey used to neutralize honey's
acidity and help the food rise.
· Beat mixture longer and more vigorously than sugar recipes.
· Lower baking temperature by 25 degrees.
· Watch time carefully as things brown quicker with honey.
