When a recipe calls for white sugar, what is meant?
WHAT IS GRANULATED SUGAR? Granulated sugar is occasionally referred to as white sugar or “normal” sugar. Granulated sugar has been processed to remove any naturally occurring molasses. This is the sugar most frequently used in baking. Granulated sugar is ideal for measuring, sprinkling on foods, and dissolving in beverages since its thin crystals do not clump together.
