Homemade Confectioners Sugar
Sometimes we may not have confectioners sugar on hand. In a pinch, this recipe is great. I know many of us often have times when the pantry is low on baking items.
To make Homemade Confectioners Sugar grab your blender. If you do not have a blender, a food processor could work too. Then, toss in the sugar and cornstarch and blend until you have a fine powder.
