Golden Caster Sugar
Description
Golden caster sugar is a fine-grained, unrefined sugar with a warm, golden color and a delicate honeyed flavor due to the natural molasses content. It is ideal for baking light sponges, meringues, and shortbread, and is similar to regular caster sugar but with a richer taste.
Characteristics
Texture: Loosely packed and sandy in texture, with a finer crystal size than granulated sugar.
Color: A warm, golden hue from the natural molasses.
Flavor: A subtle, honeyed taste and caramel notes due to being less refined than white caster sugar.
Ingredients: Made from natural cane sugar, with the natural molasses locked in during production.
Uses
Baking: Excellent for creamed sponge cakes, light sponges, meringues, shortbread, and icings.
Other uses: Can be used on porridge and in other baking and cooking applications.
How to store
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
If the sugar hardens, it can be softened by placing it in a basin with a damp cloth overnight.
