Quick Answer

To substitute honey for sugar in baking, use 3/4 cup honey per cup of sugar, reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup, lower oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda per cup of honey. Light honeys like clover work best for delicate baked goods, while buckwheat pairs well with bold flavors like BBQ and blue cheese.
