Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch - optional, helps prevent clumping
Instructions
- Add granulated sugar and cornstarch (if using) to a high-speed blender, food processor, or coffee grinder.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the sugar becomes light and powdery.
- Stop and check the texture between your fingers. If still gritty, blend for another 10–20 seconds.
- Let the dust settle, then transfer powdered sugar to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.
Recipe Notes:
- Yield: 1 cup granulated sugar makes about 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar. Volume doubles once blended.
- Cornstarch keeps the sugar clump-free, especially if stored long term.
- You can also use coconut sugar or turbinado sugar for a natural version—just expect a darker color and slight flavor difference.
- For superfine sugar (not powdered), skip the cornstarch and blend for 30–45 seconds.
