Powdered sugar can be made from regular sugar in a conventional blender. This way you don't have to buy two types of sugar or make a special trip to the store!

mix one cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Put them in the blender, cover and blend on the highest speed until it looks like confectioners sugar. It's really that simple.

That sounds good but why doesn't anyone explain how it is done for us that know nothing about it

I never bothered to measure, I just did about a cup at a time and used what I needed for the recipe. I didn't realize there was corn starch in powdered sugar! I checked it out and you should add 2 tbsp to 1 cup of sugar.

Exactly how do you do it? How much sugar do you put into the blender at a time, which speed do you use and for how long? And what's the ratio, like 1 cup of granulated will make 1 cup of powedered, or? Thanks.

Commercial powdered sugar contains cornstarch; you may not get the same results in your recipes by "powdering" granulated sugar yourself without adding cornstarch to it.

I've been making my own confectioners sugar for years in my blender. I can't even remember the last time I've purchased any.
