If you're looking to cut down on your sugar intake or want to replace it with something less refined, honey is the perfect option. A recent study showed that honey is much better than sugar for health. Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you can use less of it. Here is an easy way to replace white sugar with honey.

Ingrediants

Honey (about 1/4 of the amount of sugar you normally use)

Advice

  • Honey has a very strong taste - be careful of modifying recipes where it might outweigh the taste of the other ingredients. Fruit, for example, may be overwhelmed by the taste of honey.
  • When replacing the honey, lower the oven temperature by 25 ° C to avoid scorching it.
  • Honey is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs liquid. This means that the cakes will become more liquid if you use honey instead of sugar.
  • A cup of honey contains 1/4 cup of water - this means you need to compensate for this amount with other solid ingredients for your recipes.
