How to make powder from sugar at home
Powdered sugar has a wide range of uses in cooking. Without it, you cannot make a classic charlotte with apples, you cannot decorate many other confectionery products, and without powdered sugar you will also not be able to make a smooth and shiny icing for Easter cakes. Of course, you can go to the store and buy powder there. But a ready-made store product, in addition to a rather impressive price, may have some drawbacks - being stale or stored incorrectly. In such cases, the product will have foreign odors and lumps.
But making icing sugar at home is not so difficult. It is usually customary to do it in a coffee grinder, but even if this gadget is not in the kitchen, you can do without a coffee grinder. For this you need a blender. Making powdered sugar in a blender is even easier than in a coffee grinder.

So, we offer you detailed step-by-step instructions on how to properly make powdered sugar at home using a coffee grinder or blender.
