Russian cuisine, like any national cuisine, makes full use of the gifts of nature. One of these gifts is honey. The benefits of honey have been known since time immemorial. And it’s not in vain that when we catch a cold, we first of all think about honey - its ability to expel illness from the body is worthy of all praise. The natural potential of honey is so powerful that it can even cause allergies!

But honey is famous not only for its benefits. Honey is a natural dessert, the sweet taste of which is reflected in folk proverbs and sayings about a wonderful life and pure love. As a sweetness for tea, you can, of course, add tablespoons of honey, but such a luxury quickly becomes boring. That is why in the recipes of Russian cuisine there are so many sweet options for preparing dishes from honey: these are the well-known gingerbread cookies, pies, lush women, honey cakes, and the modern Medovik cake... And how many drinks with honey are known in Russian cuisine! Sbiten, warming in the cold, refreshing kvass, low-alcohol mead, which was brewed especially for newlyweds... And meat dishes in a honey glaze? This is amazing! The golden brown crust becomes crispy, honey adds a subtle sweetness, and its aroma mixes with the tantalizing smell of baked meat.

Housewives often ask the question: “How can honey be used in baking if it cannot be heated to a high temperature?” After all, in this case, fragrant pies and buns turn into real carcinogenic poison! We hasten to assure you that this is not always the case. With proper preparation and strict adherence to the recipe, honey will retain its beneficial properties, and you can treat yourself to a delicious dessert. How to do this - read on.

In fact, honey baking recipes allow for the use of this product and even heating it in the oven. But this must be done strictly according to the rules.

Rule #1: You need to use less honey than sugar. That is, if you are trying to independently change the recipe for baking with honey, replacing the sweet ingredient with bee nectar, all proportions must be adjusted. For example, if you need 1 cup of sugar, use only ¾ cup of honey. According to the same rule, the amount of flour and other ingredients is reduced.

Rule #2: Change the oven temperature. The baking mark should not exceed 180 degrees. Even better if it is at 150 degrees. In baking with honey, this is quite acceptable, since the recipes are quite simple. Unlike finicky eclairs, apple pie dough or cake crust will not “fall” or lose its shape.

Rule #3: Increase baking time. This is logical, because we reduced the temperature in the oven. Accordingly, it will take more time to prepare. For example, if recipes for baking with honey indicate a baking time of 1 hour, increase it by 1.5-2 times. This way, you will be absolutely sure that the dessert will not be raw or wet. However, be careful: there is one detail that is not written about in recipes for baking with honey. The edges of this dough quickly darken (which is quite normal), but they also burn easily. You can tell the difference by the characteristic unpleasant odor. If the dough starts to burn, there is a reason to reduce the temperature and increase the baking time.

Baking recipes with honey

All recipes for baking with honey are supplemented with photos, so you can immediately determine which dessert you would like to pamper your loved ones.

Cakes with honey

The honey cake recipe involves using both sugar and bee nectar. At the same time, you can add both liquid and crystallized product. In the case of baking, there is not much difference. It’s up to you to decide what the highlight of the dessert table will be! We chose three candidates: honey cake, anthill and nut cake.

Honey cake

Honey cake is by far the most popular honey cake recipe. It is also extremely simple to prepare. You will need:

• honey (3 tbsp.)
• sugar (2 cups)
• egg (2 pcs.)
• flour (2 cups)
• butter (400 g)
• sour cream 30% fat (500 g)
• nuts (100 gr)
• soda (1 tsp)

To prepare the cakes, cut off 100 grams of butter. Melt a little in a water bath, then add honey and sugar (1 cup). Stir until a homogeneous mixture appears. After this, you need to add eggs, add soda and mix. The final stage of preparing the dough is adding flour.

Knead well, form into small balls (about the size of a large fist), then place in a bowl and cover with cling film. The test should rest for at least 15 minutes. Then roll the balls into round cakes of the same diameter. Bake each “sheet” in the oven at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Let's start preparing the cream. The remaining 300 grams of butter must be melted, add sour cream and 1 more glass of sugar. Beat thoroughly with a mixer until the cream becomes fluffy.

Anthill with honey

The recipe for anthill with honey is almost completely identical to the previous one - the only difference is in the cream and the final laying out of the cakes. You will need:

• sugar (250 gr)

• egg (3 pcs.)
• flour (4 cups)
• soda (1 tsp)
• milk (½ cup)
• butter (200 g)
• condensed milk (1 can)
• walnuts or almond flakes (50 g).

The dough is prepared exactly as in the previous recipe. There is only one exception - before adding flour, you need to pour in milk. When the baked cakes have cooled, they need to be crumbled into small pieces. About the same as French fries.

To prepare the cream, you need to mix 100 grams of butter, condensed milk and honey. Beat thoroughly with a mixer until smooth, then mix with pieces of dough. Form the resulting mixture into a mound and sprinkle chopped nuts or almond flakes on top.

Honey pies

Pies with honey are easy to prepare, and their taste is simply excellent! You can use different ingredients as filling. Some people prefer sour cherries, others prefer an exotic mixture of plums and dates, and others prefer curd filling. We offer classic options - apple and pumpkin pies.

Apple pie with honey or tart

The classic recipe for pie with honey and apples has long been familiar to everyone. We will tell you how to prepare an exquisite French tart. To do this you will need the following ingredients:

When enough time has passed, take out the dough, put it in a mold (if you don’t have one, you can use a deep frying pan) and let it cool again for 1 hour. The “empty” base is baked at a temperature of 170 degrees for 5-7 minutes.

To prepare the filling: puree 3 apples, add cream, a little sugar and 1 egg. All this must be mixed with a whisk. Cut the remaining apples into thin slices, add lemon juice, honey and fry a little in a frying pan.

Place apples in the dough pan in several rows, alternately brushing with puree. Place the tart in the oven and bake at 170 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Pies with honey filling

Of course, honey alone is not enough for the filling. Bee nectar is good in combination with contrasting flavors - especially sour.

Lemon and honey are the perfect combination for gourmets. And it can easily be used in such a dessert from childhood as lemongrass. And the recipe is as simple as possible! To prepare you will need:

• flour (2 cups)
• sugar (½ cup)
• honey (½ cup)

To do this, grate a lemon to extract the zest. Squeeze out the lemon juice. Add honey to the resulting citrus mixture. Please note that instead of lemon, you can use any other sour filling. For example, cherries or currants.

After adding melted butter, beat everything with a mixer until fluffy foam. Mix in milk-yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, kneading the dough thoroughly. Heat the frying pan well and grease the surface with oil. Pancakes should be fried over medium heat.

To prepare the filling, mix the berries with honey. Generously grease the surface of each pancake and roll it into a roll. When placing such “rolls” on a plate, gradually build a pyramid. You will get a kind of house made of pancakes, which you can additionally pour honey on top.

For diabetes mellitus of the first and second types, it is extremely important to monitor your diet so as not to provoke a rise in blood sugar levels. All products should be selected according to the glycemic index (GI) and bread units (XE) should be taken into account. One unit of bread is equivalent to 10 grams of carbohydrates. For diabetes of any type, the recommended daily dose should not exceed 2.5 XE.

GI is directly related to the number of grain units in a product; the lower the index, the lower the XE. When consuming an increased amount of carbohydrates, a diabetic must recalculate the amount of insulin, that is, add an injection of short-term insulin before meals, based on the XE consumed.

It is a mistake to believe that the diabetic menu does not contain baked goods. It can be included in your daily diet, preferably for breakfast, just replace sugar with honey and adhere to a few more cooking rules.

Below the concept of GI will be described and, based on the data, “safe” products for baking have been selected, various recipes and general recommendations for diet therapy are also presented.

Glycemic index

The glycemic index is a numerical indicator of the rate at which glucose is absorbed after eating a certain product; the lower the number, the safer the food. It is worth noting that some products have different characteristics with different heat treatments.

Such an exception is carrots; when fresh, its GI is 35 units, but when boiled it is 85 units. The same exception applies to fruits. It is forbidden to make juices from them, even those that are allowed for diabetics, as their indicator increases to a dangerous level. All this is due to the fact that the fruit “loses” fiber, which helps glucose enter the blood more evenly.

If, after all, the juice was consumed in the diet, then it is necessary to recalculate the dose of short-term insulin administered before meals so as not to provoke hyperglycemia. But what GI indicators are considered normal? For this purpose the following information is provided:

• Up to 50 units - the products are absolutely safe for diabetics and do not affect blood sugar levels.
• Up to 70 units - you can only occasionally include such food in your diet. It can harm the patient.
• From 70 units and above – under the strictest prohibition.

It is worth carefully selecting food products for diabetes of any type and relying on glycemic index data.

"Safe" Baking Products

Sugar level

A frequently worrying question for many diabetics is whether it is possible to replace sugar with honey and not cause a spike in blood sugar. The unequivocal answer is yes, you just need to know a few simple rules in choosing a beekeeping product.

The GI of honey directly depends on its variety, for example, the minimum values ​​for chestnut, acacia and linden honey are up to 55 units. so only these varieties are allowed for diabetics. You should also not consume honey if it has become candied.

Traditional baked goods use wheat flour, which is completely prohibited in case of diabetes. It can be replaced with rye or oat flour. If the recipe specifies a large number of eggs, then you need to make adjustments - leave one egg and replace the rest only with white.

Diabetics are allowed to prepare sugar-free baked goods from the following products:

1. Rye flour;
2. Oat flour;
3. Kefir;
4. Whole milk;
5. Skim milk;
6. Cream up to 10% fat;
7. Vanillin;
8. Fruits - apples, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries, apricots, all types of citrus fruits, etc.

From this list of products you can prepare charlotte, honey cake and cakes.

Baking recipes with honey

Flour products for diabetics can be prepared both in a slow cooker and in the oven. When preparing them, the baking dish should not be greased with butter; it is better to use vegetable oil, lightly dusting it with flour. This will help avoid additional calorie content of the dish.

You can cook not only baked goods, but also with the addition of honey. For example, jelly or marmalade, the recipes of which include only honey, fruit and gelatin. This dessert is absolutely harmless for a diabetic, but the serving should be no more than 200 grams per day.

For honey charlotte with apples you will need the following ingredients:

• 250 grams of apples;
• 250 grams of pears;
• Honey – 3 tablespoons;
• Oatmeal – 300 grams;
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon;
• Vanillin – 1 sachet;
• Baking powder – 0.5 sachet;
• One egg and two whites.

Beat the eggs until fluffy foam forms, add honey, vanillin, salt, baking powder and sifted flour. Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The consistency should be creamy.

Peel and core the fruit, cut into small cubes and combine with the dough. Place an apple cut into slices on the bottom of a baking dish greased with vegetable oil and fill them with dough. Bake at 180 C for 35 minutes. At the end of cooking, let the charlotte stand in the mold for five minutes and only then take it out. Garnish the dish with lemon balm sprigs or cinnamon.

To add a more piquant touch to your breakfast with charlotte, you can prepare a healthy tangerine decoction. This is not only tasty, but also has a number of positive effects on the patient’s body.

This drink:

1. Calms the nervous system;
2. Increases the body's resistance to infections of various etiologies;
3. Reduces blood sugar levels.

To prepare one serving you will need the peel of one tangerine. It must be cut into small pieces and pour 200 ml of boiling water. Let sit for at least three minutes.
