superfine sugar
Baker's preferred sweetener
Superfine sugar is granulated sugar ground to finer crystals that dissolve more quickly.
Bartenders prefer it for cocktails, and bakers use it in delicate meringues and cakes where regular sugar might leave a grainy texture.
Also called caster sugar or castor sugar, especially in British English.
Cream the butter with superfine sugar until fluffy.
