Homemade Powdered Sugar
Easy Recipe for Making Powdered Sugar at Home
Powdered sugar is an essential ingredient for baking and decorating! Instead of buying it, why not make your own fresh and clean version at home? It’s incredibly easy with just a blender, and you can make as much as you need, whenever you need it, making it super convenient.
Essential Ingredients- 5 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch or potato starch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s talk about the ratio. Generally, a 10:1 ratio of sugar to starch works best. For example, 5 tablespoons of sugar to 1/2 tablespoon of starch is a perfect balance. Getting this ratio right will ensure you make fine, lump-free powdered sugar.
Step 2
Now, get your blender or food processor ready. Add the granulated sugar and starch to the blender. Process for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes a fine powder. It’s important to let it blend thoroughly until smooth without stopping, unless your blender isn’t very powerful. If that’s the case, you might need to blend in batches or from different angles.
Step 3
Check the powdered sugar once it’s blended. You’ll have a wonderfully fine powder, just like the store-bought kind! This homemade powdered sugar is perfect for decorating sugar cookies, frosting cakes, or dusting over pastries. If you’re not using it immediately, store it in an airtight container in a cool place.
