Powdered sugar starts its life as plain, boring ol’ granulated sugar. Then, it gets thrown into a giant blender and beaten into a fine, fluffy cloud. They also add a little cornstarch to keep it from caking up into a rock.
That cornstarch is the real party pooper here. It’s about 3% of the mix, acting like microscopic bouncers. They stop the sugar crystals from sticking together in a clingy mess.
Why Bother Converting?
Maybe you’re out of granulated sugar, and the stores are closed. Or maybe you just bought the wrong bag because you were distracted by a funny meme. Either way, you have a mission.
The key? You can turn that powdered sugar back into its chunky, gritty grandpa. It’s like reverse-engineering a snowflake into an ice cube. Sounds impossible? It’s not.
