Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the granulated sugar and cornstarch to a clean, completely dry high-speed blender or spice grinder.

  2. Blend on high speed for approximately 30–60 seconds, or until the sugar becomes a fine, soft powder. Depending on the size and power of your blender, you may need to work in smaller batches. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides and prevent the blender from overheating.

  3. Allow the sugar dust to settle before removing the lid. Rub a small amount of powdered sugar between your fingers to check the consistency. If it still feels grainy, continue blending in short intervals until smooth and powdery.

Notes

For an extra-fine texture, sift the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining sugar crystals or clumps.
