What if a recipe calls for superfine sugar and you only have regular sugar?
I want to make chocolate merengue cookies by Ellie Kreiger from Food Network but I don't have superfine sugar. Please answer as soon as possible. Thanks very much.

Do you have a coffee bean/spice grinder? I had a recipe that called for caster sugar (which I never buy) and I ran some sugar through my grinder until it was fine enough. It worked great. If you don't have a spice grinder, you could probably do the same in a blender although it might take a little longer since there'd be more open space.

You can whirl the requested amount of sugar in a blender for a minute or so. I think the purpose for this ingredient in a recipe it that plain sugar may feel grainy in the eating of it.

Use the regular sugar and sift it once or twice and you'll be fine.
