Icing Sugar

In Australia icing sugar in comes in two forms:

Pure Icing sugar: extremely refined white sugar that must be broken down through a sieve before measuring and using. Use for dusting cakes and the like and in sweet pastry recipes.

Icing Sugar Mixture: pure icing sugar mixed with cornflour to keep it smooth. Usually used for ‘easy to manage’ icings.

Pure icing sugar is also called confectioner’s sugar in some recipes.
