Homemade Powdered Sugar

Description

Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners’ sugar or icing sugar, is just granulated sugar ground into a fine powder and often mixed with a small amount of starch to prevent clumping. Making it at home is super easy, especially if you run out mid-recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of Organic Cane Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of Cornstarch

Equipment

• Blender
• Dry Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Fine Mesh Strainer
• Large Mason Jar

Instructions

• Add the sugar (and cornstarch, if using) to a high-speed blender, spice grinder, or food processor.
• Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the sugar is a fine, fluffy powder.
• Let the dust settle before opening the lid.
• Transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

• Use a blender or spice grinder: A high-speed blender works best, but even a coffee or spice grinder can do the trick for small batches.
• Add cornstarch to prevent clumping: This is optional but recommended if you're storing it.
• Sift before using: For ultra-smooth frosting or glaze, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
• Use immediately or store: Store in an airtight container for up to several months in a cool, dry place.
