Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar

Whenever I'm following a recipe and it tells me to use sugar I use caster sugar even if it doesn't specify it, I always use Tate And Lyle Caster Sugar because I've never seen any other brand of it apart from Billingtons and they're majorly expensive so forget that! lol Tate And Lyle make wicked caster sugar. It blends easy into wet or dry ingredients, a couple of hours ago I used this caster sugar with butter to make a butter cream for some proper boring cheap cakes my dad had brought home from work. It mixed easy into the butter and gave me a delish smooth butter cream that wouldn't have been half as good with normal sugar. It's got exactly ...  Read the complete review

Forget the diets and let's think about home baking! I learned how to cook when I was very young as my Mother had had an operation on both wrists and living in the country practically everyone baked, because buying cakes was an admission that you weren't a good housewife! She sat outside the kitchen door in the sun and gave me instructions and I remember that I always used caster sugar when making Victoria sponge cakes, scones, shortbread, meringues etc.and still do now, although I don't bake as much!

I don't keep granulated sugar in the house but have always got a packet or two of Tate & Lyles Caster Sugar in the cupboard because I use it regularly for baking. This caster sugar is excellent for everything; it has the sweetness of sugar but the granules are so much smaller which means it's easy to blend it into liquids, beat into butter and melt down for caramel desserts.

Tate and Lyle Caster Sugar... You can buy yourself a bag of Tate and Lyle Cater sugar for around 90 pence at most supermarkets and this is a good price, as many places will not stock their own brand. Caster sugar is used mainly for baking and the main difference between caster sugar and standard granulated sugar is that the granules of sugar themselves are smaller in size meaning they will melt quicker when they are cooked. The Tate and Lyle caster sugar comes in a 1lb bag and is well packaged. I find it the best sugar to use when making cakes or things. I had switched for a while to a more expensive caster sugar one that was ...  Read the complete review
