In the discussions of patties, the recipe always calls for granulated sugar. This makes patties that are hard to manipulate. Powdered sugar makes a patty that is easier to form and can be rolled thinner - easier to handle. Somewhere I have read negative things about the cornstarch in powdered sugar (I can't remember what), but we have been using it for years when dusting with Terramycin. I have used powdered sugar for patties for several years without apparent untoward effects. Comments?
