Icing Sugar

Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners sugar, is a very fine, powdery sugar that is used in baking to give a sweet, smooth finish to cakes and other baked goods. It is made by grinding granulated sugar into a fine powder, then adding a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping. Icing sugar is often used in icings and buttercreams to give a smooth, glossy finish. It can also be used to make royal icing, which is used to decorate cakes and cupcakes. Icing sugar is a key ingredient in many frostings, glazes, and fillings, and is versatile enough to be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. Its fine texture and sweetness makes it the perfect ingredient for adding a touch of sweetness to any baking recipe.
