Is baker's sugar the same as confectioner's sugar?

I don't know what Gail used, Billy, but baker's sugar is a finer granulated sugar. Powdered, or confecitoner's sugar, is even finer, with cornstarch added to keep the granules separated.

I used the fine granulated sugar, not confectioner's. I buy it at the grocery in the baking aisle. It dissolves better than the regular grade.

BTW Billy, the reason Scott answers cooking questions so authoritatively is that he's a professional chef. He has his own company, which makes Survival Spice. (You'll probably hear its praises sung now and then in the Food entries and comments.)

It's also referred to as castor sugar, especially by Brits.

I'm going to try this for dinner tomorrow. I'm trying to teach my partner that not all food comes out of the sandwich and wrap section of Whole Foods.

Bon appetit. Add just a little curry at a time, and taste, then add more if you want. If you get too much curry into something, it will turn bitter.
