added 997 days agoWhat can I use as a substitute for Honey? will sugar suffice? Honey is so expensive now 3/4 of a cup would be around *5-6 on it's own, Supermarkets are killing us with their price increases!!

added 985 days agoThere is no reason why sugar could not be substituted for the honey here. However, because this recipe was tested with honey, you will have to experiment for yourself when it comes to the amount. We are sure other bakers would be interested in hearing how it goes. If you do decide to swap them out, please let us know how it went.
