Hi cookies

Just a quick question about ingredient availability before racing down to Metro tomorrow in this heat.

Is castor sugar (that really fine white sugar) and brown sugar (normally tightly packed and solid but when you open, all crumbly) available ?

I have my mom's apple crumble recipe and I'm dying to make it myself for the first time.

Cheers

Hi Jin Jin,
Yes both are available at Metro. Also in Abaed's and Abu Ashara supermarkets. Be careful in Ashara though as they have the Italian brown sugar which is horrendously expensive.
Good luck.

be careful they have a brown sugar her but flows just like normal sugar and is only white sugar coloured.

If you want real brown dark sugar with a lovely caramel taste buy Muscovado or Demerara they are more sticky.
