Read again. The first mention says "icing sugar mixture" with no
explanation. A second entry says icing sugar. Of course I know what icing
sugar is in Italian. Not everyone is stupid, and I am not.

Zucchero semolato is NOT caster sugar. I am surrounded with British expats
and they all say that it is not caster sugar. Some of them attempt to make
caster sugar by whizzing ordinary sugar in a food processor with varying
results.

The reason I responded to your recipe is that Pandora originally asked me
for a recipe. I was translating mine into metric when Wayne published his
and so I left it there.

Your charms are slipping, my friend.
