Save money (and a last-minute grocery trip!) by making your own powdered sugar at home. It’s an easy way to stock up in bulk for all your holiday baking – and the best part is, you’ll know exactly what’s in it.
While powdered sugar can technically be made with just granulated sugar, we recommend adding a little cornstarch to help prevent clumping and keep it light and fluffy.

- Place your 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into the blender or food processor.
- Combine. Let the mixture blend until the sugar and molasses are fully powdered.
