Castor is what I use for cooking as a standard as it dissolves quicker for baking, so that's what I used this time too. Good luck, let me know how it works out for you :)The InTolerant Chef ™https://www.blogger.com/profile/11398350955819175899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253154877742304495.post-81182114301997692312013-09-16T05:57:08.109+10:002013-09-16T05:57:08.109+10:00Hiya

Granulated is the standard, castor has smaller crystals and icing sugar is the powered variety for frosting. Which type should I use for this recipe?<br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056038306009662870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253154877742304495.post-64118729320284277812013-08-30T07:27:19.753+10:002013-08-30T07:27:19.753+10:00You need to cook the sugar syrup longer and at a h...You need to cook the sugar syrup longer and at a higher temperature perhaps. Maybe your thermometer isn't accurate. Humidity can also make it tricky. The rice paper is edible, parchment paper isn't, and anything the liquid nougat touches it will stick to like glue. If the nougat pieces touch they will stick to each other as well. You could use a silicon pan, but don't grease any pan you use.
