Equipment

  • High-Powered Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Instructions

  • Combine the granulated sugar and cornstarch in a high-powered blender or food processor, then blend for approximately 30 seconds until the mixture turns into a fluffy, white powder.
  • You can use the powdered sugar immediately, or for future use, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. If it develops lumps, remember to sift it before incorporating it into your recipes.

Notes

  • Sugar - You can make powdered sugar using regular granulated sugar, which is the most common choice, or alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar or erythritol for sugar-free options.
  • Cornstarch - Including cornstarch when making powdered sugar helps prevent clumping, maintains a smooth texture, and enhances its versatility in various recipes.
