How to Make Your Own Powdered Sugar
Makes about 1 to 1-1/2 Cups
1 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch*
Add the sugar and cornstarch (or other thickener) to a blender jar or pitcher.
Blend on high speed for about 1 minute. Allow sugar “dust” to settle then
check the powder. If it’s still grainy, process for another 30 seconds. Allow
sugar “dust” to settle, then remove the sugar to a container with a tight fitting
lid. Store at room temperature.
Note: If you see that the sugar isn’t circulating in the blender very well, periodically stop the blender, remove the pitcher and (while holding the lid on securely) tip the blender jar back and forth a few times to help the sugar to circulate.
Continue blending until the sugar is powdery.
Tips:

*You can’t have cornstarch? You can substitute 1 Tbsp tapioca starch or 1
Tbsp arrowroot for the cornstarch.

This process works best in small batches, so it’s best not to increase the
recipe. If you need 2 cups of powdered sugar, repeat the process rather
than doubling the recipe.

A strong, high powdered blender with a sharp blade is best for making your
own powdered sugar.

Choose a blender with a glass pitcher/jar. The granulated sugar may etch
into a plastic pitcher.

Wait at least a minute after processing the sugar to allow the sugar “dust” to
settle before removing the lid.
