To substitute honey for sugar
in recipes, start by substituting
up to half of the sugar called
for. With a little experimentation
honey can replace all the
sugar in some recipes.
When baking with honey remember
the following
Reduce any liquid called for
by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
Add l/2 teaspoon baking soda
for each cup of honey used.
Reduce oven temperature by
25 F to prevent over-browning.
Because of its high fructose
content, honey has a higher
sweetening power than sugar.This means you can use less honey
than sugar to achieve the
desired sweetness.
When measuring honey, coat
the measuring cup with non-stick
cooking spray or vegetable
oil before adding the honey.
The honey will slide right
out.To retain honey's wonderfully
luxuriant texture, always store. it at room temperature; never
in the refrigerator. If your honey becomes cloudy, don't worry.It's just crystallization, a natural
process. Place your honey
jar in warm water until the crystals
disappear. If you're in a
hurry, place it in a microwave-safe
container and heat it in the
microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes,stirring every 30 seconds.
Remember, never boil or scorch honey.[/b] |
