Questions about Powdered sugars
Can you make powdered sugar from granulated sugar?
Yes. Blend granulated sugar until it is very fine, then sift it; a small amount of cornflour can help keep homemade powdered sugar from clumping, though it is not essential if you use it straight away.
Why should you sift powdered sugar before using it?
It often forms small lumps in storage. Sift it over cakes or into icing so it falls evenly and blends smoothly.
How do you make a quick icing with powdered sugar?
Stir it gradually with a little water or lemon juice until you have a thick, pourable glaze. Add the liquid a few drops at a time: a little too much can make the icing runny.
Can you use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar in a cake?
Not as a straight swap in most recipes. Its fine texture and any added anti-caking starch can change how a cake mixes and bakes; use granulated sugar unless the recipe specifically calls for powdered sugar.
How should you store powdered sugar?
Keep it in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture makes it cake into hard lumps, so use a dry spoon and close the container promptly.
What is powdered sugar best used for?
Use it for smooth buttercream, quick glazes and royal icing, or sift it over biscuits, cakes and pancakes for a light finish. Its fine grains dissolve readily, making it useful when you want a smooth icing.
Can you use powdered sugar to sweeten cold drinks?
Yes. Its fine particles disperse more readily than granulated sugar, so it works in cold drinks and cocktails; stir well, as anti-caking starch in some products can leave a faint cloudy appearance.
