things people ask

• How do I substitute honey for sugar in a cup-scale recipe?
  Use about 3/4 cup honey for every 1 cup sugar, then reduce another liquid in the recipe by 3-4 tablespoons to account for honey's water content. Drop the oven temperature by 25°F because honey browns faster than sugar — cookies and quick breads can go from golden to scorched in the last few minutes if you don't adjust.
• Why does my cup of honey weigh so much more than a cup of sugar?
  Honey is a saturated sugar solution with very little air in it, so it packs roughly 339 g into a cup versus sugar's 198 g. That density also means honey adds noticeable moisture to baked goods — banana breads and muffins made with honey stay tender longer on the counter than the same recipes built on dry sugar.
• Does crystallized honey measure the same as liquid honey?
  Roughly, but not exactly. Crystallized honey traps tiny air pockets between sugar crystals, so a cup can weigh 10-20 g less than smooth liquid honey. Warm the jar in a bowl of hot tap water until it loosens, then measure — you'll get closer to the 339 g figure and avoid the streaks of unmelted crystals in your batter.
