Recipe by Rose Atwater

  • Prep Time5
  • Total Time5 minutes
  • Yield1 cup 1x

Description

Skip the store and make your own Homemade Powdered Sugar! With only two ingredients and a couple of minutes, you can have super-soft powdered sugar to use in all of your sweet recipes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup White Granulated Sugar
  • Tablespoon Cornstarch

Tool Needed:

  • Spice Grinder

Instructions

  1. Add both ingredients to the spice grinder and grind for 15 seconds or until the mixture has reached the desired texture.
  2. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry area for up to 3 months (sometimes longer). 

Notes

  • I have never frozen my powdered sugar simply because sugar is sensitive to moisture, so I do not suggest you freeze this recipe.
  • Many spice grinders can be pretty small. If you have a smaller one, it’s fine to do it in smaller portions at a time. I tend to combine it all in a bowl and whisk or sift it anyways, just as an added “why not” step. Plus, it’s kind of fun to play with…*shrugs*.
  • Food processors, unless they have a special setting for this, will not get the sugar fine enough to make powdered sugar.
  • If your sugar still feels a little gritty and rough, you may need to grind longer, or get a grinder that grinds more finely.
