∙ 15y agoI had a recipe last year that called for castor sugar, some very helpful manager at a Jewell Grocery looked it up. It is also called baker's sugar. It is a super fine sugar. You can substitute regular sugar for baking. This was a candy recipe, so I bought the baker's sugar.

Be careful about weights though.
If the recipe is American and uses "cups", it would be wise to use less caster sugar than the recipe states, as it is finer than regular sugar and there would be more sweetness in a cup of caster sugar than in a cup of 'regular' - granulated - sugar.

What is the difference between golden caster sugar and plain caster sugar?
For those not familiar with caster sugar, it is called extra fine sugar in the US. Golden caster sugar is naturally refined caster sugar so it has a slightly golden hue because of a bit of molasses due to processing. It is not the same as brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses but it is far stickier because extra molasses has been added. If you can't find golden caster sugar you might try taking turbinado sugar and running it through the food processor.
