homemade powdered sugar, how to make powdered sugar, how to make powdered sugar without cornstarch

1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional - I never use this, but it’ll help prevent clumping and melting. It also helps with thickening.)

Blend sugar (and cornstarch, if using) on high until powdery for at least 1 minute in a high powered blender, or slightly longer in a regular blender. Watch for the texture to change from a fine sugar to a powdered sugar as seen in the video.
If you notice clumps, use a sift to break them up.
Enjoy immediately where you’d use powdered sugar!

Wow! I knew how to make powdered sugar, but clicked the recipe, just to see if I'd missed anything...and while reading it thought..."I wonder if it works for brown sugar"? and then you wrote about coconut and other sugars! What a fun new way to change a recipe slightly...I'm excited, Jessica! Thanks so much. I have to travel 180 miles round trip to get organic powdered sugar. This is a reminder and a great way to use one of my pretty containers instead of another plastic bag!!! You are inspiring!
