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.
