Selon ces derniers, les grains du sucre semoule seraient plus gros que ceux du sucre en poudre. :)

Granulated Sugar
produced directly from crystalization of the syrup; it forms fairly coarse crystals. It is the most common variety for general use.
Caster(Superfine) or fine sugar
this can be made from crushed and sieved granulated sugar, but in Britain it is mostly boiled to a small crystal
size

: Technically correct, perhaps, but I've never heard the term in the U.S. and the OED suggests that this usage of "caster" died out in the 19th century.

caster sugar
Déf. :
Sucre cristallisé réduit en poudre par broyage et tamisage, se dissolvant rapidement, même à froid.
Note(s) :
Le sucre semoule est utilisé entre autres pour sucrer les fruits, les crêpes, les boissons, ainsi que pour la préparation de desserts, de pâtisseries, de glaces, d'entremets, etc.
Le sucre semoule est surtout vendu en Australie et en Europe. Les sucres vendus au Canada sous les noms français de sucre super fin, sucre de fruit, poudre de fruit, sucre en poudre et sucre à dissolution instantanée, ou sous les noms anglais de super-fine sugar, fruit sugar, fruit powder, powdered sugar et instant dissolving sugar, peuvent être utilisés comme substituts du sucre semoule.
Alors que plusieurs auteurs considèrent les termes sucre semoule et sucre en poudre comme étant des synonymes, certains établissent une distinction. Selon ces derniers, les grains du sucre semoule seraient plus gros que ceux du sucre en poudre.

Is it `caster sugar\' or `castor sugar\'?
Both are right. The spelling castor sugar used to be the prevailing one, but caster sugar seems to be more usual now, perhaps because it is used by some sugar manufacturers on their packaging.
