Caster sugar is made by crushing and sifting granulated white sugar, and is also called fine granulated sugar. It’s an essential ingredient in desserts and pastries. When you’re creating delicate or tricky baked treats, caster is the sugar to use!

Its fine, regular crystals dissolve quickly and caramelise evenly, so you can trust it to give a light finish to pavlova, light sponge cakes and dressings. To obtain a white, frothy mixture when adding sugar to egg yolks, use caster sugar. Caster sugar also dissolves immediately in drinks such as milk shakes, lemon juices or sangria, whatever the temperature of the drink.
