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.
