If you thought honey was just good for drizzling onto toast, think again. There's over 300 varieties of honey in the USA alone. That leaves us with a lot of choice when it comes to determining our favourite floral notes or honey consistency. As a natual sweetener honey lends itself perfectly to many honey dessert recipes.
Try using different types of honey in these recipes depending on the required results. For example, with honey and greek yoghurt, you might want to use a superior honey to appreciate the complexity of flavours. Used in baking, like cookies, honey can add another dimension of crunch or complexity along with a natural sweetness.
