thanks for that everyone
I've aleady been down to the shop today for baking supplies, and didn't really fancy going down again!0 -
Got a food processer? Whizz it in there for ten seconds.
Otherwise, it's just a case of creaming the mix longer. You can speed things up but having the ingredients and bowl etc at warmish room temperature.Val.0 -
I agree. I only buy granulated sugar. If I need caster sugar I blend it or put it in a pestle and mortar.Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0

I always thought they were the same thing! I don't recall ever having a failed baking attempt and I always use normal table sugar.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

Morrison's granulated is like caster sugar, it's ground more finely than others for some reason
I always use granulated.
Sugar, caster sugar and icing sugar are all the same thing, just ground to different granulatednesses
