What is the difference between C&H® Baker’s Sugar™ and White Granulated Sugar?
White sugar has a standard granule size, while C&H® Baker’s Sugar™ is an ultrafine sugar with smaller, uniform granules. These finer granules mix easily into recipes, delivering better results than white granulated sugar in baked goods. Plus, it’s a one-for-one substitute for regular white sugar.
What is the difference between C&H® Baker’s Sugar™ and powdered sugar?
C&H® Baker’s Sugar™ and powdered sugar serve different purposes in baking. Powdered sugar, as the name suggests, has a fine, powdery texture and is typically mixed with cornstarch to prevent clumping. On the other hand, C&H® Baker’s Sugar™ features ultrafine granules that are finer than regular granulated sugar but still maintain a granulated texture. This makes Baker’s Sugar™ ideal for creating smooth, even textures in recipes, while powdered sugar is best for frostings and icings.
