How to Make Confectioners’ Sugar at Home?

Hi everyone! I recently ran out of confectioners’ sugar while baking and was wondering if anyone has a tried-and-true method for making it at home. What equipment and ingredients do I need, and are there any tips to ensure it turns out just like the store-bought version? Thanks in advance!

All you need is regular granulated sugar and a blender or food processor. Just pulse the sugar until it becomes fine and powdery—that’s it! To ensure it’s as smooth as store-bought, you can add a touch of cornstarch and blitz it a bit longer. This DIY method works like a charm and saves the day when you’re in a pinch.

To make confectioners’ sugar at home, blend granulated sugar with a small amount of cornstarch (1 tablespoon per cup of sugar) in a high-speed blender or food processor until it’s a fine powder. Sift to remove any clumps.
