Measured masses of honey
Honey is a high-energy product. It does not stay long in the stomach, but quickly penetrates into the intestines and is absorbed by the lymphatic system, and from there into the blood and tissues. This property of honey is used by athletes for rapid recovery of muscle energy in breaks between competitions. Even the ancient Greeks considered honey a “drink of youth” and gave them athletes during the Olympic Games.
In children who consume 2 teaspoons of honey every day, a noticeable increase in weight and an increase in hemoglobin in the blood. The first information about the use of honey in baby food dated around 900 BC. Then the children were given a mixture of milk, honey and melted butter. It was accepted as a rule to inject a few drops of honey near the mouth of a newborn before applying it to the mother’s breast.
High energy value of honey makes it possible to increase the energy value of a small amount of food, which is very important for seriously ill people, prematurely born and dystrophic children.
Honey facilitates the digestion of proteins and fats and the oxidation of milk casein into small flakes, so that the food takes the infant out of the stomach in the shortest possible time. So, honey is an excellent antidispeptogenic factor.
Honey has long been a part of many recipes from different nations of the world. It is used mainly when baking flour products and for making sweets.
Adding honey to the dough when baking confectionery and making drinks significantly improves their taste and nutritional value.
Before proceeding to the recipes for preparing products with honey, let us give some advice.
1. For sweetening yeast dough, honey should be added only at the end of fermentation, so that the smell and taste of honey remain.
2. When making honey biscuits in baking soda, it is desirable to add a few drops of citric acid
3. Honey is less sweet than sugar, so it should be added to food more or add sugar, in addition to honey.
4. When baking confectionery products, the proper temperatures should be observed: tempered (130-180 њ C), medium (180-220 њ C) or high (220-280 њ C), depending on the dough, shape and size of the product, which it is baked. For example, for small items you need a higher temperature, and for large and thick – the lowest, because they are longer baked.
If there is no thermometer at hand, you can determine the temperature in a heated oven or oven by the state of the flour. To do this, a pinch of flour should be thrown into a preheated oven. If it immediately becomes charred, then the temperature is 220- 280 њ C, and if it turns yellow, and after about 30 seconds it darkens, then the temperature is 220-280 њ C. When the flour gradually turns yellow, then the oven has heated to 180-200 њ C.
