Siúcra Caster Sugar 500g | Irish Fine Baking Sugar

Siúcra caster sugar, 500g. Caster is milled finer than granulated, and the difference is functional rather than cosmetic: the smaller crystals dissolve faster, which matters a great deal in baking.

Creaming butter and sugar for a sponge works properly with caster and badly with granulated, since the larger crystals never fully break down into the butter. Meringues need caster for the same reason.

It is also the better sugar for anything cold, where granulated would sit at the bottom of the bowl undissolved.
