Castor sugar is a superfine form of regular granulated white sugar (also known as "berry sugar"). Substituting regular sugar in its place can be done for some recipes without any consequence. In other recipes, there can be a difference in the texture of the final product (i.e it may be more gritty instead of smooth).
