Can I replace regular granulated sugar for powdred sugar?!
Answers: I am making cake icing. It says to use powdered sugar. Could I use granulated sugar instead?
YOU DONT WANNA DO THAT YOU RISK CHANGING THE TASTE THE TEXTURE AND ALSO THE CALORIE COUNT OF YOUR DISH.......BUT YES YOU CAN
IT TAKES WAY MORE POWERED THOUGH
No, you can substrate regular sugar for powdered sugar because the icing will not come out as smooth it will be grainy and will not frost as well.
do you have a food processor? whiz the crap out of the powdered sugar. It will at least break the granules down some more
Depends on what kind of icing....If your using say, cool whip, cream cheese and powdered sugar, then yes, you can use granulated instead. If you're making something light like a meringue then the granulated sugar crystals will "pop" the air bubbles and cause your icing to flop.
Here's a fabulous icing recipe:
1 large carton coolwhip
1 8oz package cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar either kind.
Taste it and sweeten as you like....Start with less though since you won't need as much granulated sugar as you would powdered sugar.
You can also use Splenda if you have it.
no. powered sugar is a mixture of cornpower and sugar and will weigh and measure differently.
No, it won't work, but you can turn it into icing (powdered) sugar if you have a coffee grinder attachment for your blender. It will still be a little gritty, but it will do the job. You could also use a mortar and pestle, but that would take AGES!
In general, you can substitute icing sugar for granulated sugar for most things, but not the other way round!
no. it is completely different. it would ruin your dish.
No, it would be gritty and too runny.
