Great tip. I seldom use powdered sugar but I can now make this as required. Instead of buying a bag and never using it. On that note, do you know the shelf life for powdered sugar? Thanks Matt.
Thanks! It's 11:30 pm and I was making frosting for a two layer carrot cake and I ran out of icing sugar. I was all set to run to store to beat the midnight closing. No need!!
You are very welcome! Yes, actual powdered sugar/confectioner's sugar you buy at the store has cornstarch added to it. So it makes sense to add it with homemade powdered sugar. :)
My focus is would be on “strong” here. I have wasted 4 blenders by trying to make powdered sugar and every time i blamed the blender for not being a good one. Better use a food processor or strong grinder to be honest.
Hi, granulated sugar is a crystal sugar. Do you mean powdered sugar? Just blend it up like I do in this video, and add a pinch or two of cornstarch to it.
You need a really good food processor. I tries this sort of thing a few years ago. I have what I thought was pretty good device (Cuisinart). But it was a dismal failure. The idea is great though just make sure you have a powerful processor.
White granulated sugar is cane sugar. :) At least the kind we get here in the States. Dried out brown sugar probably won't work that well because of the molasses in it. Even when try, it just won't get that powdery. But you can always experiment :)
This is a great segment because I just read that some companies use Nano particles in their icing sugar and Nano particles are not yet proven to be safe in food. I am still checking to see which companies use these particles.

Thank you! Finally, a recipe that uses cornstarch! Because I feel my frosting was a failure because I didn't add it.

Nice. I jyst saw a recipe that you need powdered sugar for and I am going to see if monk fruit sugar will do the same to gave a low calorie sugar
Good experiment, have fun!
This hack is a 'Kitchen Treasure!' Thanks, Matt! : )
You are so very welcome!! :) :)
Thanks for this video! Ran out of powdered sugar and didn’t want to run out to the store.
You are very welcome!!
Can you substitute coconut sugar or maple sugar and use it to make powdered sugar?
You can certainly try it. I don't know for sure if it will work.
I don’t have a food processor, can I use a blender? Thanks 😊
Hello, Alyssa, yes you can use a strong blender. :)
In The Kitchen With Matt Thanks Matt!

Thank you Matt
You are very welcome! :)
Can I use white sugar and then I use blender not processer ?
Yes that should be okay.
This is neat
Thank you!!
Nice upload
thanks
how much Sugar does this recipe make ?
Hi Sam, it make just slightly more than you start with. So if you use 1 cup of sugar, it will make almost 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar.
Thanks Matt🙏🏻
You are welcome!
What's the difference from mine of which I ate with bread yesterday?
This one's texture looks like sand and my one looked like flour
There is no difference, it just depends on how much you blend it. It is hard to tell on camera, but this is indeed powdery like flour.
I have big blender it work?
It should be okay.
Thanks to you chef
You are very welcome, Eden!

@@inthekitchenwithmatt right, thanks

Mine is a cheap Hamilton Beach food processor, works great. :)
I'm wondering if you can make it with dried out brown sugar or cane sugar?

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thanks, I was thinking about that golden-colored cane sugar. I will experiment!
Or a coffee/spice grinder works
Indeed!
What if u dont have cornstarch
you can leave it out, it just helps keep the sugar from caking.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt oh okay thank u
No wonder why my powerdered sugared I made was so crunchy!!!! Hahahahah I mixed it for 30 seconds !!
lol yes you need to mix it longer. :)
