i would not use granulated sugar while making buttercream icing. i would only use icing sugar. icing sugar usually has cornstarch mixed in with the powdered sugar. even if you added cornstarch to granulated sugar it would still give you a completely different texture than icing sugar...it would feel very gritty.

∙ 13y agoI would try using any other sugar you have. But if that's it, don't use as much as you would with powdered sugar because it could make it non-sweet dry and tart.

Can you substitute granulated sugar for confectioners sugar?
In most things, No. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and has much less sweetening for the same amount.Clarification:Powdered (confectioners) sugar has only a minimal amount of cornstarch, which really doesn't affect the sweetness. The cornstarch is added to prevent the powdered sugar from lumping.But, as the answer above states, it usually cannot be used as a substitute for granulated sugar since it can result in the recipe not turning out as well.
Can you use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar in cake frosting?
If you put the granulated sugar into your blender & turn it into powdered sugar you can use it. Just blend the amount the recipe needs. Like, if it says 1 cup powdered, use one cup granulated. The problem with using regular sugar is - the frosting will sweat. It will look ok at first but when it sits for a while the frosting will look like it has water puddles on it. If you plan to eat it soon after its made, that would be ok. But it shouldn't sit for very long. You might want to find a recipe that uses regular sugar.
Can you substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar in a pecan pie recipe?
I guess you could - just use twice as much. But it might make the filling cloudy-looking. MUCH better to substitute the same amount of brown sugar (1 c. if the recipe calls for 1 c. of granulated sugar). Brown sugar has a hint of molasses that makes the pecan pie richer.

Recipe calls for powdered sugar that i do not have can i use something else?
I don't think many recipes that need powdered sugar would work with a substitute, but you can make powdered sugar if you have a food processor. Put granulated sugar in the food processor and a little corn starch (about one teaspoon of corn starch to one cup of sugar). Run the food process for several minutes checking periodically to see if the sugar is fine enough. When it's powdery you can use it in your recipe.

How much confectioners sugar do you need for 1 cup of granulated sugar?
Cornstarch is added to confectioners (powdered) sugar to prevent the sugar from lumping, so the amount is quite minimal. And adding cornstarch to granulated sugar isn't what makes it confectioners sugar. Confectioners sugar is much finer and softer than granulated sugar, it has a texture much like that of cornstarch. So you would have to be able to grind granulated sugar into a very fine powder in order to make it like confectioners sugar.
