Icing sugar
Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar, is a fine, powdery ingredient commonly used in baking and desserts. It is made from granulated sugar that has been ground into a powder. Unlike granulated sugar, icing sugar dissolves easily, making it perfect for smooth mixtures like icings and glazes.
To create icing sugar, granulated sugar is finely ground into a powdery form. This process results in the fine texture that is perfect for making frosting, icing, and dusting on top of desserts. The fine powdered form allows it to easily combine with other ingredients without leaving a grainy texture.
Icing sugar is a popular ingredient in baking and confectionery due to its ability to dissolve easily and create smooth textures. It is commonly used in frosting for cakes and biscuits, dusted on top of doughnuts or pastries, and to sweeten fillings like cream and custards. Its fine texture helps create a velvety mouthfeel in desserts like buttercream, meringues, and fondant. Next time you enjoy a light, fluffy cake with a smooth icing, chances are icing sugar played a key role in creating that delicious treat.
