I need to make my own substitute powdered sugar, but I am not sure what to use to grind the sugar with.  I have tried to look it up and the info says three different things; food processors, blenders, and coffee grinders.  Does anyone know which of these would be best to grind something so small into a fine powder?  I decorate cakes and I want to make them available also in the "sugar free" option. Thanks. Amanda

Food processors don't work so good. At least, not the ones that I've tried. They just don't grind it up small enough. I don't have a coffee grinder, so I've never tried that one. I've had good luck with a blender. Just remember to add a tablespoon of corn starch for each cup of sugar. It may not be necessary for all things, but I use powdered sugar mainly for icing and the corn starch helps it to thicken up.

Oh, keep in mind that powdering sugar in a blender will probably scratch the inside of the blender pitcher. It doesn't effect how well the blender works, but it does make it look worn.

thanks!  I don't care if it looks worn, as long as it works! ;)

wow, I didn't know you could make it! AWESOME!  Thanks for sharing
