Powdered Sugar

Ingredients:

White Sugar – 500 gr

Cornstarch – 2 tbsp

Instructions:

1. 1. First, you need a small powerful blender, like a spice grinder, Nutri bullet, Vitamix or food processor. I had the best success in a blender. You might have to try a few different appliances to see what works best.

1. 1. Add the sugar and cornstarch. The cornstarch is important as it keeps the sugar dry and it also prevents it from clumping.

1. 1. Blend it all together until fine, around 4-5 minutes. Stop, and stir with a spatula to make sure it gets mixed all around so that it is all getting blended.

1. 1. After a few minutes run it through your fingers and if it feels gritty then keep blending. You might still feel a little texture at the end but that’s ok. If you can’t seem to get it really fine you might need to try a smaller, stronger blender.

1. 1. Store your homemade powdered sugar in an airtight container in your pantry.

Prep time: 5 min

Total time for preparing powdered sugar : 5 min

Note:

If you want to store your powdered sugar you can do so and it will last in your pantry indefinitely.

Tip: You can use brown sugar for this recipe as well but you can’t really stop that one from clumping. You could add more cornstarch but it really is just if you like your sugar finer than regular caster sugar… Other than that, it has the same ways of using then regular caster brown sugar would. A good idea though would be to mix it up with some cinnamon and use it for some doughnuts sprinkling!
