Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional) The cornstarch is optional, but it helps the powdered sugar stay smooth and clump-free when stored.

Instructions
 

  • Add the granulated sugar to a food processor, blender, coffee grinder or mortar.
  • Process on high speed until it becomes a fine, fluffy powder. This takes 1-2 minutes in a food processor or blender, or 5+ minutes with a mortar and pestle.
  • If using cornstarch, pulse it in until evenly distributed in the sugar.
  • Sift the powdered sugar through a fine mesh sieve to remove any clumps.
  • Store in an airtight container. Keeps indefinitely!
