Vickys Corn-Free Icing/Powdered/Confectioners Sugar
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp starch ie arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca starch
- Simply add the 2 ingredients to a blender and blitz!
- In an ordinary blender it'll take a couple of minutes.
- If you have a high powered one like a Vitamix it'll take less than a minute
- Wait until the dust cloud has gone down before you open the lid, otherwise your kitchen will look like a smoke bomb has gone off!
- This serving amount is equal to 1 cup / 200g icing/powdered/confectioners sugar and you can make a lot and keep it in a sealed container in the cupboard indefinitely
- The starch is needed to thicken buttercream frosting.
- If you're just using the icing sugar for dusting over a cake or say some french toast, you don't NEED to add any starch at all but it won't do any harm
- To make icing glaze, mix 225g of the powdered sugar with 2 - 3 tbsp water until smooth.
- You can add a drop of flavouring first then add the water.
- Beat until smooth adding drops of water as required to reach the consistency you want.
- That'll cover an 8" cake or 12 cupcakes
- To make buttercream, add 75g softened butter to 175g of the powdered sugar and beat until creamed.
- Add a little milk again to reach the consistency you want.
- That'll fill or cover an 8" cake or 12 cupcakes too
