Spooning is Better...

...and cleaner.  I'm talking honey here - honey granules.  Back when I had the tea shop, I had come across a wholesaler out of California that sold honey in granule form, and it was the best discovery in my beverage drinking life.  Don't get this confused with bee pollen - it's not the same thing at all. 

Whenever I can, I measure my food.  I cook and do everything with the kitchen scale.  I don't do this to for the purpose of counting calories or anything - I just always have an issue eyeballing things, or being consistent.  I figure out at what level things taste best, and then make a mental note or log it somewhere.  If I'm making something for the first time, I'll take note of the weight of everything before I start using it, then weigh it all again when everything is to my liking and calculate the difference.  This way, it's easier to recreate something when I get it totally right.  I know, it's like Geek in the kitchen, but whatever - it works.  This is why it takes me so long :-).

Because of the viscosity of honey, I always had a problem getting it just right.  Plus it's just a sticky mess, and that bear is not the easiest to squeeze sometimes.  So that's where the granules come in.  It has a milder taste that most of the clover honeys you can get in the store, which makes it great as a complete sugar replacement.  It's great in coffee, tea, baked goods, etc.  Just like any honey, it's slightly sweeter than sugar so you don't need as much.  What else can I say - honey granules are just good grub.
