Confectioners' Sugar

I really don't know how to rate this recipe knowing that the kitchen approved version using a whisk won't work, believe me, you would be whisking for days on end with still a grainy confectioners sugar. The personal recipes version states to "Mix the two until powder forms" but didn't state what to mix it in. As for the kitchen approved recipe I would give it one star for the simple reason the whisk won't work. I did a test run in a mini food processor which still resulted in grainy confectioners sugar. Lastly I used my single serve blender and the result was a 5 star perfect powdery confectioners sugar or powdered sugar as it's also known. *Update* The kitchen approved version has been updated to reflect the proper way to make the sugar and I highly suggest using a blender.

It never fails, you run out of powdered sugar and forget to restock it!?!? Update: since having to make my own powdered sugar, I have not bought any!!! I make it ALL the time now! Just as well as with brown sugar.... look it up, it is so easy! And you know exactly what is in it!!! Woohoo! love it!

This worked great but it needs to state that you need a high power blender I used the nutr-bullet blender and it turned out great it has to grind to a fine powder which mine did thanks for sharing

I ran out of confectioners sugar to make glazed brownies and just had about 1/2 cup left. I made this and it turned out great. This is so good to know just for this reason. I did blend it in a small Tribest blender and it came out fine!

I never knew that making confectioners sugar was so simple! I cringe when I think of all of the money I have spent or times when I didn't make something because I didn't have any on hand. Very simple. Yields more. I doubled this recipe and had over 3 cups of confectioners sugar at the end.

Good recipe

It was easy and definitely was like real powdered sugar and would recommend it and make it again

Sorry but... it just does not work as stated. Put it in my blender, pulsed as directed, and all it does is mix the sugar and corn starch. Oh, and heat up the sugar too. Not fine or powdery like regular confectioners' sugar at all. I even put it in a container and tried the hand-held blender... nope. Not happening. It just ends up heating the sugar.

Does not work with food processor. Tried it in Cuisinart, processing 4 time for 5 minutes each time, for total of 20 minutes. Result is still just sugar mixed with corn starch. Very grainy, not powdery and fluffy like confectioners sugar bought pre-made.

Great to substitute it in an emergency. Use a blender!

I've used this recipe so many times. Never knew it was this easy to make powdered sugar. comes out perfect everytime when blended in the magic bullet.
