Can you substitute powdered sugar with granulated sugar in a frosting recipe?

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.

Does starch gives positive result for Benedict test?

Starch is made up of repeating glucose units. Though it is a non reducing sugar, its hydrolysis gives out pure glucose, which is known as dextrose. And glucose, as we know, is a reducing sugar and hence would give a positive result in Benedict's test.

Can you replace caster sugar with icing sugar in baking cookies?

In some cases yes, but not if you're making icing. Icing sugar is far finer grained, and as such caster sugar will not be an adequate replacement in this case. (Your icing will be granular and not set properly). You may be able to if it's a meringue recipe, but you'd be better off finding a recipe that does not use icing sugar to begin with.

How many cups is 300g icing sugar?

Icing sugar is not normally measured by the ml, since mls are designed for liquids only. ( Measuring icing sugar by the mil is highly inadvisable due to the large potential for inaccuracies.) It would be best to find a weight measurement for icing sugar to convert to cups, if the measurement must be in cups.

How do you make butter cream icing with caster sugar?

Yes, you can. I use it instead of icing sugar (powdered sugar/confectioners sugar) because I think it tastes MUCH more delicous and less sweet and rich. But if you are going to use for whatever reason instead of icing sugar, I would recommend beating for much longer than you would with powdered sugar. Though, please do not get confused with caster sugar and granulated. In America they use granulated sugar in baking, and I think (I may be wrong) they call caster sugar super fine sugar. Also, you will get a better result if your caster sugar is newish. If not it can get gritty and become more-a-less like granulated. If so, put it into a sieve (sifter) and rub your fingers or spoon against it, this will get rid of chunks. So, yes you can :D

Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?

Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.

What is the best icing sugar to use for piping?

Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?

Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.

How do you make frosting without powdered sugar?

Well, today I made cupcakes, and a reliable source told me (since we didn't have icing sugar at the time) to take normal sugar and grind it in our coffee grinder, and then use it as icing sugar. At first, I thought it was crazy. Then I thought it was perfect! Then I didn't think it was so great. It was kinda hard to mix, and if you had leftover ground up coffee beans in there, the icing would end up with black specks in it. In the end I used the same icing with much help from a very good friend. It wasn't as good as icing with icing sugar, but it was icing. My friend said it was too sweet for her, and I kind of agreed with her, since the sugar is actually sugar. ---- Warning: * Be aware that after you apply the icing to your baked goods or food item, the icing hardens easily, but when poked the icing cracks. * The icing may be too sweet for your liking * It can easily harden * It's kind of hard to apply Tips: # When you use the sugar, it is the same as using icing sugar, use water or margarine for the icing. # If the icing gets too hard, mix it up a bit and add some water. # If the icing gets to liquidy, add a bit more ground-up sugar. Hope that helps!YOU CAN MAKE ICING SUGAR (CONFECTIONERS SUGAR) FROM GRANULATED OR CASTOR SUGAR. Put granulated sugar in a blender and blend until it forms icing sugar. Icing sugar is just a much finer form of granulated sugar. Also, icing sugar is more expensive than granulated sugar so this is a way to save money too.In regard to the former (original) answer, some coffee grinders are a form of blender, just smaller. In fact, you can grind coffee beans in a blender. You can also grind peanuts in a blender to make peanut butter.
