About Powdered sugar
Powdered sugar, also called confectioners’ sugar, is granulated sugar ground to a fine powder with a small amount of cornstarch added to stop caking. It is used for frostings, glazes and dusting because it dissolves instantly. It is light and dusty, so it must be spooned and leveled, never scooped and packed.
