| − | '''Superfine sugar''' is also known as '''bar sugar''' (so-named for use in mixing alcoholic drinks) or '''baking sugar'''. It is [[Cookbook:Granulated Sugar|granulated sugar]] with unusually small crystals. Sold as [[Cookbook:Caster Sugar|caster sugar or castor sugar]], this is the standard type of sugar in some parts of the world.

| − | Superfine sugar crystals are easy to disolve in cold liquids. This property also causes doughs, [[Cookbook:Meringue|meringues]] and batters made with superfine sugar to be of a finer texture than is usually achieved with granulated suger. | |

| − | Superfine sugar is ''not'' the same as [[Cookbook:Powdered Sugar|powdered sugar, confectioners' sugar, and icing sugar]]. A [[Cookbook:Blender|blender]] can be used (abused) to create a decent approximation of superfine sugar from granulated sugar. Depending on the recipe, it may be acceptable to simply substitute either granulated sugar or powdered sugar.
