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.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
Yes, you can substitute confectioners' sugar for powdered sugar in this recipe.
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.
A delicious frosting recipe that does not require refrigeration is a simple buttercream frosting made with butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a little milk.
You can substitute regular granulated sugar for confectioners sugar in a recipe by grinding it into a finer powder.
A suitable substitute for nonfat dry milk in a recipe is powdered coconut milk or powdered soy milk.
A suitable substitute for rock sugar in a recipe is regular granulated sugar or brown sugar.
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.
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.
If you accidentally use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar in a recipe, it can significantly affect the texture and consistency of the final product. Powdered sugar is much finer and contains a small amount of cornstarch, which helps prevent clumping. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, will not dissolve as easily and may result in a grainy texture. To salvage the recipe, you can try processing the granulated sugar in a food processor to make it finer, but the results may still not be the same as using powdered sugar.
To convert powdered gelatin to sheets for a recipe, use this ratio: 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin is equivalent to 4 gelatin sheets. So, if your recipe calls for gelatin sheets, you can substitute with this ratio.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where caster sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
