Castor (or caster) sugar is a type of British fine sugar. It is called castor because its grains are small enough to pass through a sugar caster (sprinkler).
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.
In America, caster sugar is known as superfine sugar. It is finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered sugar.

Caster sugar is a type of sugar that has a fine texture, similar to granulated sugar but slightly finer. It is often used in baking and desserts because it dissolves more easily. The main difference between caster sugar and regular sugar is the texture - caster sugar is finer and dissolves more quickly than regular sugar.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where caster sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
