My recipe uses 6 oz icing sugar (powdered) and 3 oz of caster sugar and it works every time but I think the icing sugar (powdered) is important. Just checked 2 other recipes on www and they both use both types of sugar so I guess you should go and get some.
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 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!
In America, caster sugar is known as superfine sugar. It is finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered sugar. Caster sugar dissolves more easily in liquids and is often used in baking to create a smoother texture in cakes and meringues. It differs from other sugars like granulated sugar and powdered sugar in its texture and how it interacts with other ingredients in recipes.
Yes, you can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. However, be careful on the measurements. Use a little less caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer granulated sugar. It is not as fine as powdered sugar, but it is in between granulated and powder. Caster sugar dissolves more easily,so it is very beneficial in making meringues.
Caster sugar is similar to powdered or confectioner's sugar in the U.S. which may be substituted without problem. Raw sugar would need to be processed in a spice or coffee grinder or in a food processor until very fine and powdery before being substituted for caster sugar.
No
Scones are usually made without sugar.
One delicious recipe that uses cookies with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar is Russian Tea Cakes. These cookies are made with a buttery dough, rolled in powdered sugar, and baked until they are lightly golden. The powdered sugar gives them a delicate sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
