How do you get caster sugar from raw sugar?

Answer 1

Castor sugar may not be easy to find, but it is easy to make. In fact, it's really nothing more than granulated sugar that has been ground to a super fine consistency.

Here's what you need:

Granulated Sugar

Blender or Food Processor

Place granulated sugar in food processor or blender

Pulse until it reaches a super-fine, but not powdery consistency

Allow to settle for a few minutes. Then use in place of the castor sugar called for in your recipe.

Answer 2

Caster/castor sugar in Britain is Superfine in the United States. It is a smaller crystal that dissolves faster than regular table sugar. The crystals are sorted (sieved) according to size during production.

If you don't have it available, I have seen suggestions to use a blender or food processor, but that is a dusty operation. Do not use powdered or confectioner's sugar as a substitute due to the addition of starch to these products.

Answer 3

You can further reduce the caster sugar crystal size by using a metal blade in a food processor, but do this in short bursts or pulses. It will not get as fine as icing or frosting sugar.

You can beat the icing until the sugar is well dissolved to reduce grittiness. This will take some time, and can be helped by using hot water.

Answer 4

You blend it with a blender or grinder, until it has the texture of caster sugar. Continue blending for icing sugar.

Yep that's also a correct and well said answew....

or, you can just go o the supermarket and by raw sugar. but 2 get caster sugar to raw sugar you need to put caster sugar in bowl add 1 egg, mix for 1 min and tip out left over egg, put microwaver for 5 min's and then mix then leave 2 set

Answer 5

It is sometimes a bit hard to find castor/caster sugar, but no worries! Just put good old granulated (regular) sugar into a blender/food processor and viola! Castor sugar. Just be careful not to make it superfine; otherwise, it turns into powdered sugar.

Answer 6

It's a common type of sugar found in the baking aisle of a supermarket.
