Caster sugar is called "superfine" sugar in the United States. Do not confuse with confectioner's (powdered) sugar to which cornstarch has been added.
I have tried it and dosent make much of a diffrence!
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.
yes it is its just finer.
No, its not, icing sugar is a fine powder whereas caster sugar is grainy crystals. Chemically they are probably the same, but the grain size is different. Caster sugar and granulated sugar are the same though I think.
Yes. Caster suger is finer than ordinary sugar so there is less air space between the crystals and more sugar for the same volume. But on a weight-by-weight basis, it should not be any sweeter than regular sugar.
Like granulated/table sugar, caster/or sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beet Castor, or caster, sugar is exactly the same as regular granulated sugar, simply ground to a very fine flour-like consistency Please do not confuse castor/er sugar with confectioners, or icing or fondant sugar which contains 3% starch to prevent clumping You can make castor/er sugar yourself by blending or processing regular granulated table sugar for a few minutes Use it promptly to avoid clumping

Yes It has been procesed in the same way!
Caster sugar is a finely ground sugar that dissolves easily in liquids, making it ideal for baking. It is different from regular sugar in baking recipes because its fine texture helps create a smoother texture in baked goods like cakes and meringues.
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.
No, caster sugar is fine-ground granulated sugar. Confectioner's sugar is a mix of ultra-fine sugar and a starch; it is sometimes called icing sugar.
Caster sugar is heavier.
