How to Make Powdered Sugar
Description
How to Make Powdered Sugar shows a straightforward process of pulverizing granulated white sugar with cornflour, which helps to absorb moisture and prevent clumping. Using a strong blender, spice grinder, or food processor, the sugar and cornflour are blended for several minutes until a soft, fine texture is achieved.
The process may require stopping to stir and check the texture to ensure uniformity. While some slight granularity might remain if the appliance is less powerful, the result generally works well for frostings and dusting desserts.
Once prepared, the homemade powdered sugar should be stored airtight to maintain dryness and usability indefinitely. This method provides a convenient alternative to store-bought versions and allows control over ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated white sugar 16oz/450g
- 2 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
