    Product Differences Here are some common US ingredients and their possible counterparts: White Sugar is granulated, fine granulated, or castor sugar. Powdered Sugar is icing sugar. All purpose flour is enriched, bleached or unbleached white household flour. When self-rising flour is used in place of all purpose flour in a recipe that calls for leavening, omit the leavening agent (baking soda or baking powder) and the salt. Light colored corn syrup is golden syrup Cornstarch is cornflour. Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda. Vanilla or vanilla extract is vanilla essence. Green, red, or yellow sweet peppers are capsicums or bell peppers. Golden raisins are sultanas.
