Description
Castor sugar also known as caster sugar is a finely granulated white sugar that dissolves more quickly than standard granulated sugar. It is made from refined sugar that has been milled to produce smaller crystals, creating a smooth texture that blends easily into batters and mixtures. Because of its fine crystal size it is commonly used in baking where a light texture and even sweetness are important. Castor sugar is ideal for cakes sponges meringues mousses custards and dessert sauces. It creams efficiently with butter which helps incorporate air into cake batters and contributes to a lighter crumb. It also dissolves quickly in cold mixtures making it suitable for whipped cream and delicate desserts. A staple ingredient in both home baking and professional kitchens where consistent texture and smooth sweetness are required. Store in a sealed container in a cool dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
