1 Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a blender jar or bowl of a food processor.
2 Turn the machine on to high speed and run 3 to 5 minutes. The time will depend on your blender or food processor; some high speed blenders will take as few as 3 minutes. Stop the machine every few minutes to scrape down the sides to make sure all the sugar gets evenly pulverized.
3 The sugar is done when it feels fine and powdery when you rub it between your fingers; if it’s still gritty, keep processing.
4 The powdered sugar may be hot from the friction of the machine. If it is, let it cool before putting in an airtight container or zip top bag. Like regular powdered sugar, it will keep indefinitely. Did you like this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
