castor sugar
Finely ground sweetener
Castor sugar is finely granulated white sugar, smaller than regular table sugar but not powdered.
The fine crystals dissolve quickly, making it ideal for baking, meringues, and cocktails: Cream the butter and castor sugar until light and fluffy.
British spelling; Americans typically call it superfine sugar.
