How to Make Powdered Sugar

Making powdered sugar at home is straightforward by blending granulated sugar with cornstarch until fluffy. This technique yields about 4 cups of powdered sugar, ideal for baking and decorating. The method ensures a fine texture similar to store-bought versions and allows control over freshness and ingredients.

Description

How to Make Powdered Sugar uses just two ingredients: granulated sugar and cornstarch. The sugar is blended with cornstarch in a high-speed blender for about 30 seconds until it reaches a soft, fluffy powder form. Cornstarch prevents clumping and aids in achieving the smooth consistency typical of powdered sugar.

This homemade powdered sugar is useful for frostings, dusting desserts, and other baking needs. Storing it in an airtight container helps maintain its texture. If lumps form, sifting before use restores its fine quality.
