How to Make Powdered Sugar

This method for making powdered sugar uses granulated sugar and arrowroot powder blended together until fine and powdery. The arrowroot adds anti-caking properties, ensuring the sugar remains free-flowing for baking and frosting applications.

Description

The process involves placing granulated sugar and a small amount of arrowroot powder or another starch into a high-powered blender. The mixture is blended at high speed for about 30 seconds until the sugar is ground into a fine powder resembling store-bought powdered sugar.

After blending, it's important to let the powdered sugar settle for at least two minutes before opening the blender to prevent a cloud of dust from escaping. The resulting powdered sugar can be transferred to an airtight container for storage and used in recipes that call for confectioners' sugar.
