Is it possible to make your own confectioners’ sugar? You bet
your hot cross buns you can! I got in a pinch the other day when I realized we
didn’t have any powdered sugar and I needed it right away. I remembered seeing
online that you could easily make your own just using granulated sugar and a
blender.
Was it just that easy? YES! Just take some sugar, maybe one cup at a
time, and blend. You keep adding more sugar as needed. I have to stress that it
has to blend a long time to get the smooth texture all the way around. I noticed
that my blender was getting super-hot by the end of the process.
I would
probably never make this again unless I was in a pinch. Sadly it’s just as easy
to buy it as it is to make your own, but it sure is nice to know you can if you
need it. Also, it didn’t seem to matter how long I blended the sugar I could
never get it perfectly smooth. Most of it was smooth, but not all.
So what did that
mean for me? My chocolate frosting was grainy and ruined! Ugh! I was disappointed
but it was fun seeing the results. I am sure if you waited long enough your
sugar would be perfect!
