Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
Instructions
1. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to a high-powered blender or food processor. A blender is preferred for a finer texture.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch to the blender with the sugar. The tapioca starch helps to prevent clumping and mimics the anti-caking property of cornstarch in traditional confectioners' sugar.
3. Secure the lid of the blender tightly to prevent any sugar dust from escaping.
4. Blend the mixture on high speed for 20-30 seconds. Stop, give the blender a quick shake, and blend again for another 10-15 seconds until the sugar becomes a fine, powdered consistency.
5. Turn off the blender and let the sugar dust settle inside for 1-2 minutes before carefully opening the lid.
6. Check the powdered sugar by rubbing a small pinch between your fingers. If it feels gritty, blend for an additional 10-15 seconds.
7. Transfer the powdered sugar to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
8. Use this homemade corn-free powdered sugar as a 1:1 substitute for conventional confectioners' sugar in any recipe.
