Caster sugar
Caster sugar is a very finely granulated white sugar, finer than standard granulated sugar but not as fine as icing sugar, which dissolves quickly in batters and liquids. It is favoured in baking, particularly for meringues and sponge cakes, where quick, even dissolving is important. Its fine texture also helps it cream more easily with butter.
