How to Make Powdered Sugar
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.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Place the sugar and cornstarch in a high speed blender and blend for 30 seconds, or until fluffy.
- Store in an airtight container. If the powdered sugar gets lumpy, sift before using.
Notes
- The recipe typically yields about 4 cups of powdered sugar.
- Store the powdered sugar in an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent clumping.
- If lumps form during storage, sift the powdered sugar before using.
