Transform Plain White Sugar into Powdered Sugar at Home

We all have plain white granulated sugar at home, but when a recipe calls for superfine, powdered, or confectioners' sugar, don't run out and buy a whole bag for a few tablespoons. This technique lets you make it at home what the gear you already have in your kitchen.

If you need superfine, just toss a cup and two teaspoons of plain white sugar into a food processor for 30 seconds. If you need confectioners' suguar, pulverize a cup of white sugar and one teaspoon of corn starch into a spice grinder or a blender for a full minute. Then sift the mix through a mesh strainer, and you're all done. In both cases, you'll end up with one cup of what you need.

The folks at America's Test Kitchen explain that superfine and confectioners' sugar are just processed granulated sugar, so there's no reason you can't get the same results at home if you do it right. Hit the video above or visit the link below to see the tip in action.
