Confectioner's Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
- Finely milled sugar mixed with 3% cornstarch to prevent caking, ideal for icings, glazes, and dusting baked goods. Its fine texture dissolves quickly for smooth finishes.
Sift before measuring to eliminate lumps and ensure accurate volume.
Add gradually to butter or cream cheese for silky frosting without grittiness.
Use for decorative dusting just before serving to preserve snowy appearance.
Store in airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
Substitute granulated sugar in certain recipes by blending granulated sugar with cornstarch in a high-speed blender.
