Thanks for the hint. It is Easter morning and the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away and I didn't have enough powder sugar. You saved my Easter cake.

My son is allergic to corn & I have to make powdered sugar for recipes as all commercial brands have cornstarch.
I've found that a coffee grinder works very well. You have to make small batches and can't use one that has been used for coffee unless you want coffee flavored powdered sugar.

Very cute. However, powdered or confectioner's sugar has 3% cornstarch in it. It's not just table sugar in a very fine powdered form. Therefore, it has a different consistency and is used differently.

First yes boxed has corn starch in it to keep it loose not clumpy.
It is also called icing sugar in some places. Maybe that will help the German cook. But you can process it it just takes forever and if you blender isn't strong enough will burn it out.
Also I have never had luck getting it fine enough for frosting but I am trying again as my children cannot tolerate corn products.

Tip: Homemade Confectioner's Sugar or Powdered Sugar

Archived on 02/18/2005

Use equal amounts of granulated sugar for the amount of powdered sugar you want to make. Place the granulated sugar in a blender container and blend till fine. It's ready to use immediately.

There is no need to rush to the grocery just because you have no powdered sugar at home, for your recipe, just make it yourself!

RE: Homemade Confectioner's Sugar or Powdered Sugar 02/28/2005
Is Confectioner's Sugar really the same as Powdered Sugar? I heard it contains some corn starch in it. I live in Germany, love american recipes and would LOVE to know what I can use instead of Confectioner's Sugar because I can't get it here. Thanks for any help!:)

Hi, this was my original post. I've never heard of powdered sugar or confectioners sugar having any cornstarch in it. I, personally, haven't ever made this product in my blender, but my Aunt has made it and says it's just as good as the boxed, store bought stuff.

Out of Confectionary Sugar (Powdered Sugar)? 05/13/2005
Here is a quick solution. Take granulated sugar and add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and place in blender at high speed, until it reaches a powdery texture.

Confectioners & Powdered sugar are the same, just depends upon what part of the country your from. I added about 1 tbsp per cup of sugar to my blender and it worked perfectly for my cream cheese frosting!
