Honey Conversion: Cups to Grams
Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from flower nectar, with a complex, floral flavour that varies by source (clover, manuka, wildflower). It is sweeter than sugar by volume, highly hygroscopic, and adds moisture to baked goods. When substituting honey for sugar, reduce the liquid in the recipe and add a pinch of baking soda.
