Powdered sugar

There is only one brand of powdered sugar I've found that is corn-free. I buy it at Whole Foods, and it isn't cheap. About six months ago, nobody had it in stock, and if it did, it wasn't a corn-free version. So, Chantelle and I experimented with making our own powdered sugar. It was really fun!

Ingredients:
  • Sugar
  • Potato starch (optional, but a good idea if you aren't using the sugar right away)
Instructions:
Put one cup of sugar in your blender with a teaspoon to a tablespoon of potato starch. Blend until the sugar is no longer granulated. It probably took us at least 5 minutes of blending. When you take of the lid, the sugar should send a mushroom cloud into your kitchen. That's how you know you did it right. :)
