Tip of the Day: DIY powdered sugar

Recipe calling for powdered sugar, but you're all out? Here's how to make your own.
powdered sugarPowdered, or confectioner's, sugar, is one of those ingredients you're positive you've got in the pantry until you're in the middle of baking and the oven's already preheated and you're holding a dripping spatula and you realize you're actually out. But don't worry, you don't have to run to the grocery store in medias recipe. You can make your own powdered sugar in the blender. Assuming you're not out of cornstarch as well.

Just toss one cup of regular granulated sugar and one tablespoon of cornstarch in the blend and pulverize until powdery. You can make your own superfine sugar (good for meringues, mousses, and sweetening drinks) in the blender as well, just lose the cornstarch.
