For example, if you start with 2 cups granulated sugar, you’ll end up with 4 cups confectioner’s sugar.Īdd the granulated sugar and cornstarch to a powerful blender or food processor, and blend for 30 seconds, until the sugar is white and fluffy. Expect the amount of sugar you start with to double. My recipe below calls for 2 cups sugar, but feel free to scale it up or down depending on the size of your blender and the quantity of powdered sugar you need. Use 1 tablespoon cornstarch for every cup of sugar. To make powdered sugar at home, you’ll need two ingredients: granulated sugar and cornstarch. And the best part? It only requires 2 ingredients and 1 minute. Now, I can make the exactly the amount of powdered sugar I need for a given recipe. Gone are the days of hauling an ancient sack of confectioner’s sugar (yes, they’re the same!) out of the pantry every time I make carrot cake.

When I add it to the grocery list, I dread watching another bag sit in the cupboard as I make my way through it at an agonizing pace.īut all that’s about to change! I don’t know what took me so long, but I finally learned how to make powdered sugar at home. Who else has a bag of powdered sugar in their pantry that they’ve been working through for years? Powdered sugar isn’t something I use often, but every once in a while, I need a cup to make perfect gooey brownies or luscious cream cheese frosting.
