Are granulated and confectioners sugar the same?!


Question: Are granulated and confectioners sugar the same!?
A recipe I am making calls for confectioners sugar, but I only have granulated and powdered sugar!. How should I substitute them!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
substitute powdered for confectioners part for part as they are the same thing !.powdered sugar will pass a 2100 mesh screen and granulated will only pass thropugh a 800 to900 mesh and therefore is much coarser!. Icing sugar is powdered sugar that has been reground to pass a 3600 mesh screen !. this finer sugar will blend better with flavors and fats used in the creation of icings ,powdered sugar from the grocery will make o!.k!. frostings and some cooked icings ,but tend to dry out faster than icing sugars ,as for confectioners sugar ,this is the same as grocery store powdered sugar except that it has no cornstarch ,nor sodium or calcium silicate to prevent caking or lumping!.and often has the addition of powdered glucose to add stability to the sugarWww@FoodAQ@Com

Confectioners sugar is powdered sugar and what you have is just regular sugar!. Here is a recipe that uses sugar!.

Seven Minute Frosting:
1 cup plus 2 tbps sugar
3 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbps pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup water

In large metal bowl, whisk together water, sugar, egg whites, cream of tarter, and salt!. Set bowl over pan of barely simmering water and mix with handheld electric mixer at low speed!. Gradually increase speed to high, beating until mixture holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes!.

Transfer bowl from pan to folded kitchen towel on counter and continue beating until mixture is cool and billowy, about 2 minutes more!. Beat in vanilla!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Powdered sugar is the same thing as confectioner's sugar!. Confectioner's sugar is just finely ground granulated sugar to which cornstarch has been added!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
