Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the blender. This helps prevent clumping and adds a smooth texture to the powdered sugar.
Step 3
Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds. Stop if you start to see the sugar become a fine, fluffy powder.
Step 4
Pause and carefully open the lid to check the consistency. If the texture still feels grainy, blend for an additional 15-30 seconds until it transforms into a fine powder.
Step 5
Once the sugar is completely powdered, let it sit for a minute before transferring it to an airtight container to avoid any airborne sugar clouds.
Step 6
Store your homemade powdered sugar in a cool, dry place for up to several months. Use it as a one-to-one substitution for store-bought powdered sugar in recipes.
