Thank you so much. Went short on icing sugar at last minute on Christmas Day! After making ATK’s delicious Holiday Cookies! You saved my day. Always my most trusted source. ✨✨✨✨✨
I use a coffee grinder, works just fine
Thanks!
@@catherinea.frazier6438 YES! THANK YOU!
This video was so helpful I needed powder sugar fast then I saw this then bingo I had it
I was going to make a cake then when i realized i didn't have confectioners sugar i was like " aw man" Thank you So much!!!!!!
Thank you! You saved the day. It came out perfect.
1 Cup sugar
1 tsp cornstarch/ arrow root
Blend until powdered
I don’t have a blender or food processor & I wanted to make something that needed powdered sugar which I didn’t have. I literally ground a small amount up in a small, hard plastic bowl also using using something spoon-like with more of a rounded end. Something like a hard plastic ice cream scooper. It worked so well but it was hard. I’m sure if I had fine sugar it wouldn’t have taken me so long.
Motar and pestle will work.
I'm really sorry, I know that it doesn't affect the recipe much in this instance but I can't get over the fact that you leveled the cup but then it wasn't full.
I only have a blender. how long would I blend the sugar to make it super fine but not powdered?
Is it possible to make my own superfine sugar at home?
You mentioned that tests confirmed fine for glazes and buttercookies, what about cream cheese frosting specifically? Do you have any info on that? Thank you!
Chase
Wooowww, it’s really that simple.. lol, thank you.
Thanks for this! Sugar storage near me so I have to improvise!
I'm using my grain mill!
I've tried it, but it does not work. It's still grainy no matter how long you process it. I tried it for buttercream frosting and it was terrible. I have a cupboard in my kitchen that holds all of my baking needs. Most things are in clear canning jars to keep them fresh. Just keep confectioner's sugar on hand, along with well stocked baking needs.
I agree. It’s just not the same as real caster sugar. Probably something to do with how it is processed.
I made it in a coffee grinder and it works way better than making it in a blender or a food processor. In the coffee grinder it only took a few seconds and it was fine powder.
Did you pour your ground up sugar through a fine mesh strainer?
Don’t put granulated sugar in a food processor to achieve a finer grain. Pulverized sugar created in a food processor or grinder results in chopped-up sugar crystals that will not perform well.
Thank you!
prevents clumping.
Great tip thank you
Very helpful!! Thank you!!!
Great tips, especially the proportions and the corn-starch trick!
That WILL find use in our family! (probably yet this year)
Good to know
I will never buy confectioner sugar again!
Me too a waste of money
Omg were you buying? Sorry to hear that. We always tend to powder sugar. If you don't get corn starch use all purpose flour. very wee bit.
Is this just powdered sugar?
Yes.
5 years later.
I'm gonna do this for my winemaking to dissolve the sugar into the juice quicker. 🙂
No idea why this didn't work for me. I have a Ninja blender. I blended 1 cup granulated + 1 t. corn starch...checked the texture, blended some more, but it still felt gritty and did not improve in texture. My blender is so powerful that after minutes of having it on, I can smell the motor heating up. I used the sugar anyway in a basic buttercreme frosting recipe and the end result was pure grit. What a waste! I went out to the store and bought some confectioner's sugar.
+kelli -- The only thing I can think of is that you may have used too high a setting on your Ninja blender. The sugar has to stay on/near the blades while blending, but some speeds are so high that the sugar spends most of the time in the air circling the jar. You can also limit this issue by using the smaller blender jars. There's less room for the sugar to roam so it gets a proper smack down from the blades. That's what I use on my Ninja.
kelli henderson to bad I used a vitamix
Right when I was about to go try this with our ninja..
I was about to use that blender, sad
A coffee grinder works way better than a blender or food processor.
Can i turn turbinado sugar into caster?
can you leave out the cornstarch ?
yes you can :)
+Kassie Fallen thanks!
Welcome :)
+Fallen Angel do u no wat i can use to subsatut corstarch can i use flour
Mariela Aguilera yes you can
Does blender work?
Yes, but I've seen on another video sometime ago that the sugar can scratch the glass.
It seems every time I want some crucial kitchen advice ATK comes up short. All I wanted to know is how likely will this scratch up the inside of my jugs - like theirs is at 0.30?
It will over time, dull the surface of the inside of your plastic blender jar.
@@mslaurateague Well yes obviously! I meant how occasionally is too often.
Would a blender work as a substitute for the food processor
Yes, I think so because on the video she used a blender also for the granulated sugar + cornstarch for a confectioner's sugar
IS THAT ABBY LEE IN THE BACKGROUND 1:15
Does this actually work??
NO , not if you want to use it for making buttercream frosting
Perfect, now show how to turn fine sugar into granulated?
I have the same Domino powder sugar as her but for some odd reason it taste lime perfume! Does anyone ever had that problem? So i came here to diy my own and see if there is a difference in taste or maybe it is juste..
Yes, I have had that same problem
There was this girl who was just standing by the oven and not moving
And no hair restraint. Loose hair hanging down over food -- No Way.
increase the colour.
I cannot get past the fact that the ad I had to watch before this video played was for a conspiracy theory publication. Does ATK choose the advertiser or RUclips? Either way, completely and utterly off putting and inappropriate. Even if it had been a legitimate but politically skewed ad, that would hardly be appropriate before a cooking video.
Is granulated sugar another word powdered sugar?
No. Powdered sugar is a fine powder like flour. Not the same thing.
_ WhereaboutsGS _ no
okay then.
ccccoooollll
Ashley, the early years. Looks scared in front of the camera.
They figured out how to make powdered sugar? Unless they've been living in a cave their whole lives I don't think it was a big secret. A bunch of cooks in uniform could have educated us on how to make powdered sugar, but to take credit for figuring it out?
lots of last minute trips ?
Haaaaa nooooobs
Thank you!
