Making your own powdered sugar out of
unrefined organic granulated sugar is quick and easy. You can use
Rapadura or sucanat sugar granules. Just place 1 ½ cups of
sugar crystals in a blender with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or
arrowroot starch. Begin at the lowest speed and work up to the
highest speed. Let it run on the highest speed until it becomes light
and powdery. This will only take a few minutes. To avoid breathing
in any airborne powder, let it sit until it has settled.
You will have a powdered sugar that is anywhere from light brown to
tan in color due to its mineral and vitamin content. You can
use this in any frosting recipe. I tried using palm (coconut) sugar
and it was okay, but I wasn't that impressed with the finished
product. I made a delicious carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting,
using Rapadura and everyone loved it!
