In some cases yes, but not if you're making icing. Icing sugar is far finer grained, and as such caster sugar will not be an adequate replacement in this case. (Your icing will be granular and not set properly).
You may be able to if it's a meringue recipe, but you'd be better off finding a recipe that does not use icing sugar to begin with.
Icing sugar and caster sugar are not interchangeable. This is because icing sugar absorbs water whereas caster sugar does not. Switching icing sugar for caster in a baked good recipe will result in a good with a brick-like texture, whereas substituting caster sugar for icing will result in something liquidy and granular.
Yes, icing increases the sweetness in cookies. Icing may also maintain moistness, causing the cookie to be chewy.
Yes, you can use caster sugar to make buttercream icing. You will need to cream the butter and sugar until you get the correct texture.
i think its because caster sugar has smaller particles!!:)
YEP! It is not only the sweetening of sugar that is needed for baking, but the granular consistency. You CAN the make cookies, but they will no doubt not be as well formed as those made with granulated sugar.
No, its not, icing sugar is a fine powder whereas caster sugar is grainy crystals. Chemically they are probably the same, but the grain size is different. Caster sugar and granulated sugar are the same though I think.
a good sweet fun loving some one who has nothing better to do than something e.g. baking and icing cookies.
Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar, is a finely ground sugar mixed with a small amount of cornstarch. It is commonly used in baking to make frosting, glazes, and icings for cakes, cookies, and pastries. It is also used to dust desserts for a decorative finish.
An ingredient to make plain chocolate cookies more fun and exciting is chocolate chips. One can simply bake the chocolate chips right into the cookies by stirring them into the batter. After baking, icing and sprinkles are also options to be added on the cookies.
To stiffen icing for decorating cakes and cookies, you can add more powdered sugar or cornstarch to thicken it. You can also refrigerate the icing for a short time to help it firm up.
yes,in this family he does!
There are two questions, separated by a common language. The first question is "Can you freeze cookies with icing on them?" The answer to this is yes. The second question is "Can you use icing to freeze cookies?" The answer to this is no. ***** You can freeze cookies that have been decorated with royal icing. Place them in an air tight plastic container before freezing. When taking the frozen cookies out of the freezer, don't open the container to prevent condensation inside the container making the cookies soggy. Leave the unopened container until it has reached room temperature before opening.
