Can u make confectionary sugar from regular sugar?
Answers:
Powdered sugar/Confectioner's Sugar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Powdered sugar (in Britain, Australia, Canada, and most of the Commonwealth icing sugar) is a very finely ground form of sugar that is synonymous with confectioner's sugar. In industrial food production it is used where a quick dissolving sugar is required or as in domestic use principally to make icing or frosting, and other cake decorations. It is often lightly dusted onto a baked good to add light sweetness and subtle decoration.
It is generally mixed with cornstarch or wheat flour, or calcium phosphate to improve its flowing ability and is not generally used to sweeten a beverage, but producers do make industrial grades available without additives.
Caster sugar, generally unavailable in the United States, is a larger particle size approximately half or less in size of granulated.
Sure, it's just ground finer
confectionary sugar is regular sugar....
I'm guessing you are reading a recipe that calls for confectionary sugar. Well, it is the regular sugar you have in your cabinet. Not the powdered - but the other grainer kind (it kind of looks like salt).
Yes. You just put it in the food processor or blender and pulvarize it until it's powdered.
Yes you can.Just grind it up.
yup...put regular sugar in the blender or food processor and process until it's powdery.
I think that what you can do is put regular sugar in a blender or a food processor and blend it until is becomes a powder. I have seen it on food network but I have never done it personally.
All confectionary sugar is, is finely ground sugar with some inert chemicals added (like silicon dioxide) to prevent caking).
A morter and pestle can ground sugar into a fine powder, but it is time consuming.
I am not sure if a food processor can grind it up fine enough for you, but it's worth a try. If you succeed, and if you use it right away, then you don't need to worry about it caking up on you.

Powdered sugar is 10x grind. You can't do that in a blender or food processor at home as well because it would be unevenly ground. I would just buy some.
No, it's a different kind of taste, consistancy and sugar.
I think the people who are advising you to grind regular sugar are thinking of caster sugar. Confectionary sugar is different. I would just buy it.
Yes,you can make confectionary sugar from regular sugar. Put it in the food processer and let it go till it is a powered form. I saw it on a food network show to.
You can make confectionary sugar in your blender,but you have to add a small amount of corn starch to make it like the kind you buy.
