1. Honey
Honey is a dark brown and thick syrup made from the juice of sugar cane after the refining process. It is commonly used to add flavor to pastries and breads, and can also be used for baking.
There are two types of honey: dark yellow and light yellow. The choice of honey will depend on the desired flavor, but both types can complement each other.
2. Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is a mixture of granulated sugar and honey, giving it a unique color and taste. It also comes in two types: light yellow and dark yellow, with darker brown sugar being sweeter.
In cooking, you can replace granulated sugar with an equivalent amount of brown sugar, except for dishes where color and taste are important. For baking with baking powder, brown sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar.
3. Honey
Honey is collected by bees from the nectar of flowers. It has a liquid form and adds a distinctive flavor to baked goods. Honey caramelizes quickly at a lower temperature than sugar, resulting in faster browning of baked goods. Honey is also suitable for making cream from eggs.
4. Granulated Sugar or White Sugar
Granulated sugar or white sugar is the most commonly used sweetener in baking. It is made from sugar cane or sugar beet.
