Dillerville Road, Lancaster Manheim New Holland Quarryville aimed at expanding the use of honey in commercial bakery pro ducts, shows that substituting honey for all or part of the sugar in some baked goods adds to their color and flavor and improves their texture. A method developed in this re search makes use of honey alone to sweeten cakes a commercial possibility for the first time. Cakes with a high concentra tion of honey stay moist and fresh tasting longer than do cakes made without honey. But if more than -a third of the sugar is re placed, preparing cakes by a sim ple substitution of honey for sug ar sometimes causes difficulty. A reaction of honey acids' with baking powder as the batter is mixed may lead to low cake vol ume. Also, an .intense browning reaction may occur during baking and give the cake a burned color and flavor. Extra soda cannot be added to increase volume of the cak, because it hastens undesired browning. The researchers found they could control this browning reac tin by raising the acidity of the cake batter in the final stages of baking. To do this they used po tassium bitartrate coated with a stearate, which melts and re leases the acid near the end of the baking time. Excellent cakes in which all the sugar was re placed by honey were produced by this method. Other methods to control browning are being stud ied. Honey noticeably added to the flavor and color of some cookies. Because honey gives the cookies Gas Stoves | " Room Heaters , 10% OFF Lancaster County Farm Bureau a chewy quality, only enough to replace five per cent of the sugar was used in crisp cookies. Even this small amount gave flavor to> sugar cookies and vanilla wafers. In chewy cookies, such as fruit bars and brownies, honey was used to replace over half the sug ar. The bread-making process did. not need to be altered when hon ey was substituted for sugar in bread and rolls in the tests. Hon ey substituted for six per cent of the sugar in white breads and up to 12 per cent m dark breads imparted a-nch flavor and aroma to both. Honeys from various' flower sources differ in moisture content, color, flavor, acidity, and sugar composition. The Kansas research workers used 15 types of honey and found that only the differ ences in flavor and color affected the baked goods. Although, stronger, darker colored honeys, including those from buckwheat and heartsease, were not accept able for most baked products-, they could be used in mixtures with light honeys.
