Castor sugar is simply white sugar (sucrose) that has been ground so that the granules are smaller and finer. This makes it dissolve or blend more readily because there is more total surface area for the same weight of sugar that can be exposed to the medium (liquid, butter, egg whites) to which it is added.
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).
Finely ground sugar is Castor sugar also called superfine sugar. Icing sugar is also a very finely ground sugar
One tsp is 5gm. 40gm of castor sugar is approximately 8 tsp.
Castor sugar.
Dissolving will depend on surface area. Castor sugar has a smaller particle than regular sugar. The smaller the particle the larger the surface area. Surface area: Regular sugar < castor sugar < icing sugar. Castor sugar should dissolve faster than the same mass of regular sugar but slower than the same mass of icing sugar.
Caster sugar has finer granules than regular (or "granulated") sugar. For cupcakes, you should be able to use regular sugar instead of castor without any detriment to the final product.
granulated sugar means less fine sugar. fine sugar is the same as castor sugar!
Type your answer here... The best meringue is made from castor sugar, because it dissolves easier than granulated sugar.

Castor sugar is often used in baking recipes because of its fine texture, which helps it dissolve quickly and evenly in batters and doughs. This results in a smoother texture in the final baked goods. Castor sugar is finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered sugar. It also caramelizes more quickly than granulated sugar, which can affect the color and texture of baked goods.
