  • Honey is sweeter compared to refined sugar and so you have to use less amount of honey as compared to sugar.
  • You are adding a bit of liquid when you are using honey and so if you are using honey in baking then you have to try and reduce the total amount of liquid to get the best results.
  • Since honey is acidic make sure that you add baking soda in the right proportion to balance the acidity due to honey. Ideally, if you are adding 1 cup of honey then you have to add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.
  • The sugar content in honey is higher and at high-temperature honey caramelizes and as compared to granulated sugar burns faster. To overcome this problem you have to try reducing the oven temperature.
  • You might not be able to try out recipes in which butter and sugar have to be creamed with honey and so it is better to avoid these types of recipes using honey.
  • Keep practicing and trying out different recipes with honey and you shall eventually reach the level of perfection.
