Powdered Sugar

Most powdered sugar has cornstarch added to prevent lumps and help stabilize whipped cream and other soft mixtures. You can make your own powdered sugar. Combine regular granulated sugar with a pinch of arrowroot powder in a blender and blend until very fine. Use as a substitute for powdered sugar in any recipe.
