Granulated sugar, also known as white sugar or table sugar, is the most common type of sugar used in cooking and baking. It is made from either sugar cane or sugar beet, which undergoes a refining process to produce granules of sugar crystals.
British Granulated sugar is characterized by its fine texture and white color. It's versatile and can be used in a wide variety of recipes, from sweetening beverages to baking cookies, cakes, and desserts.
In baking, granulated sugar not only sweetens but also contributes to the texture, moisture, and browning of baked goods. It helps create tender crumb structures in cakes and cookies, promotes spread in cookies, and aids in caramelization and browning when exposed to heat.
Granulated sugar can also be used in non-baking applications such as making syrups, sauces, and preserving fruits. It's a pantry staple in most households and is readily available in supermarkets in various package sizes.
