HOW TO USE POWDERED SUGAR – If you’re reading this piece, you’re either in dire need of confectioner’s sugar or eager to expand your repertoire of cooking skills. In any case, you will likely have additional sugar on your hands! So, what are its applications? I believe you should try some of GBC’s most creamy frosting recipes! Look them over:
- Frosting of CREAM CHEESE
- CHOCOLATE INFILLING
- CARAMEL FROSTING
- AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
- ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar (makes 2 cups of powdered sugar)
- 1 tablespoon optional cornstarch — see note below
- Measure out half of the quantity of powdered sugar required. (One cup of powdered sugar is produced from half a cup of normal sugar.)
- Incorporate sugar into a powerful blender. If necessary, add cornstarch.
- Mix vigorously until sugar is granular and fluffy (about 30 seconds).
- Optional: sift sugar before use for sugar that is free of clumps and extremely fluffy.
TIP: Make a bigger quantity of sugar and store it in an airtight jar for later use. Regarding Preservatives: Most powdered sugars sold in stores contain cornstarch to keep the sugar dry. Cornstarch is not the healthiest component to a dish, despite its usefulness.
I appreciate that producing my own sugar gives me complete control over what goes into my food. I omit the cornstarch if I’m making up a fast batch to create frosting or sprinkle on a topping. However, if I’m preparing a bigger quantity to preserve in the pantry, I do add my own preservative. Powdered arrowroot, tapioca flour, and organic cornstarch are all excellent possibilities.
Add one tablespoon of cornstarch (or your substitute of choice) for each cup of sugar.387 calories | 100 grams of carbohydrates | 1 milligram of sodium | 100 grams of sugar
