A bowl of Powdered Sugar (Confectioners’ Sugar), which is granulated sugar that has been finely ground into a smooth powder, usually with a small amount of cornstarch added to prevent caking. It is a staple ingredient for baking, confectionery, and decoration. Key Features Form/Texture: Extremely fine, fluffy, and powdery, much finer than granulated sugar. Color: Pure, bright white. Composition: Primarily sucrose (refined sugar), often containing about 3% cornstarch (or another anti-caking agent). Dissolvability: Dissolves rapidly and smoothly, especially in liquids or fats. Culinary Uses: Making smooth, lump-free icings, frostings, and glazes. Dusting onto baked goods like donuts, cakes, and pastries for decoration. Sweetening whipped cream and cold beverages. Caking Prevention: The anti-caking agent ensures the product remains free-flowing and does not solidify into clumps over time
