Valerie: You are correct. 350 degrees in Fahrenheit is almost the same as 180 degrees Celsius in other countries. It's not exact, but it is very close. Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valerie" <rosetta@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, I think oven temperatures in the U.S are different to here? We use Celsius, so the temperature mentioned in the recipe for the biscuits is 180Celsius, a moderate oven heat, think that would be around 350F in the U.S, but please check. There are lots of things to check sharing recipes from country to country, hope I've got that right. Cheers.

So castor sugaris a fine grained white sugar. Hope that explains it O.K., Cheers.Valerie._____ From: blindcooks-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcooks-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tammy Weller Sent: Tuesday, 26 November 2013 6:35 PM To: blindcooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [blindcooks] Re: Greek Almond Biscuits What exactly is castor sugar?
