How to measure honey

An easy way to measure honey for a recipe is to remember that one 12-ounce container of honey equals one cup. But not all liquids have the same measure. One cup of water equals eight ounces. This is because liquids such as honey also contain solids and are more "dense" than water.

How to cook with honey

You can substitute honey for equal amounts of sugar in many recipes. In baked goods, substitute honey for up to half the sugar and make the following adjustments.

Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.

Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used.

Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees fahrenheit.
