Castor sugar

[Mary Ann Jennings]

Geoff:

>>>My dictionary gives both as alternative versions
but, in practice, I have always seen it spelt as
caster on commercial packaging.<<<

Lee:

>>>Well, makes sense as one is "casting" the sugar and
just as one might be a spell caster, one might be a
sugar caster. :-)<<<

Mary Ann:

It probably is caster sugar.  I can't check in my
cupboard, because I used up the last of that sugar for
making my son's birthday cake last week and I haven't
had a chance to replenish my baking cupboard.  The
brownies my daughter and I made yesterday contained
table sugar...shock, horror!

of it
