I have a cookbook which comes from Australia and some of the recipes
call for "castor" sugar.  I know this was discussed before but I
didn't have a use for the info then and forgot it but now I need to know:  What
type of sugar is this?  In some recipes this looks like it is probably
what we call confectioners sugar.  Is that correct?  Send replies
to me and I will summarize to the net.  Thanks in advance.
