I’ve got some recipes from the UK that use “golden caster sugar”. I haven’t seen it anywhere in New Zealand, so what can I substitute it with?

Golden caster sugar is a light, fine-grained, free-flowing sugar with a subtle buttery taste. It’s a natural, unrefined alternative to refined white caster sugar.
Unrefined sugars are simply produced to lock in, rather that refine out, the natural molasses of the sugar cane. Some recipes call for golden caster sugar to be used in place of white caster sugar as its golden colour is good for meringues, cakes and biscuits. We are not aware of stores in New Zealand selling golden caster sugar so use white caster sugar instead.
