caster sugar
Finely ground sweetener
Caster sugar is finely granulated white sugar, named for its ability to pass through a caster—a small shaker with holes in the lid.
The fine crystals dissolve quickly, making it preferred for meringues, mousses, and cocktails.
Called superfine sugar in American English: Cream the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
