Guidelines for substituting honey in recipes. If a recipe calls for 1/2-cup sugar or less, omit the sugar and use the same amount of honey instead. One-cup honey contains 1/4-cup water. As a rule, when you replace sugar with honey, cut the liquid by 1/4 cup. When a recipe calls for one cup of sugar, use one-cup honey and reduce the liquid by 1/4 cup. Becareful when you use honey in cake and cookie recipes, prevent overbrowning by lowering your oven temperature by 25 degrees.
