How To Make Powdered Sugar (With Video!)
Whipping up your own powdered sugar at home is a game-changer for bakers and dessert lovers alike. Whether you’re making a quick glaze or enhancing a batch of fluffy pancakes, this kitchen hack ensures you’ll never run out of this essential ingredient.
Equipment
- blender
- spice grinder
- Nutri bullet
- Vitamix
- food processor
- spatula
- airtight container
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated white sugar 16oz/450g
- 2 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
Instructions
- 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.
- Add in the sugar and cornflour/cornstarch. The cornflour is important as it keeps the sugar dry.
- 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 blended.
- After a few minutes, run it through your fingers; 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.
- Store your Homemade Powdered sugar in an airtight container; it will keep indefinitely.
