Using honey instead of sugar

Honey instead of sugar?

When using honey as a substitute for sugar, the general rule is to use 1/2 to 2/3 cup of honey for every 1 cup of sugar.

Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you will need to use less.

You should also decrease the other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used, as honey is a liquid ingredient.

Additionally, you may need to lower the baking temperature by 25°F, as honey makes baked goods brown faster.

If there's already another acidic ingredient in the recipe, you should add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda when using honey.
