Tips for Using Honey Instead of Sugar

[xmelissaa]

I am trying to cut back on sugar in my cooking and use more honey. I like honey better, and I also feel as if it is more traditional.

I know I can't avoid using sugar for certain things, especially in baking. I know that honey makes the batter behave differently.

None the less, I'd like to substitute at least some sugar for honey when I bake, if possible. Does anyone have any tips?

It's super tricky using honey in baking. You have to reduce some of the moisture, it's just different. Would start by finding recipes that use honey so that you can get a feel for the proportions.
