Regular granulated sugar will sometimes not dissolve quickly enough in dessert mixtures. When it’s used to coat buttered soufflé dishes and it doesn’t dissolve, your soufflé ends up with an unpleasant grittiness. If you don’t want to go out and buy superfine sugar, you can make it yourself by working granulated sugar in a food processor for about 3 minutes.
