No, you cannot directly substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar using the same measurement. Powdered sugar is much finer and has a different density, so it takes up more volume. Typically, you should use about 1 ¾ cups of powdered sugar to replace 1 cup of granulated sugar. However, it's also important to consider that powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which may affect the texture of the final product.
Granulated sugar is just sugar. Powdered sugar has corn starch in it so that it will stay as a powder and not lump.
One cup of granulated sugar is equal to approximately 1 3/4 cups of packed powdered sugar.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
Sugar beets can be turned into granulated sugar
No... Powdered sugar is icing sugar. Granulated sugar is white sugar that is in granules. Chemically they are identical. The difference is in the physical structure. You can create your own powdered sugar by using a blender and granulated sugar. It won't be as fine, but it will be closer.
ANSWER 1 US teaspoon of granulated sugar contains 4.16 g 4.16 g of of powdered sugar = 1 2/3 US teaspoons
When substituting powdered sugar for granulated sugar, the general ratio is 1:1. However, since powdered sugar is finer and contains a small amount of cornstarch, it may slightly alter the texture of baked goods. For most recipes, you can use the same amount of powdered sugar as granulated sugar, but keep in mind that the sweetness level may be perceived as slightly different.
First, powdered sugar is not simply pulverized granulated sugar. There is cornstarch added to keep the extremely fine "regular" sugar from sticking together. Second, just from calorie count, one would need 50 - 75 percent more powdered sugar. Third, it tastes different. I know this from experience...ran out of granulated sugar...replaced it with powdered sugar...threw out my cup of tea! Finally, it's considerably more expensive. I would consider replacing powdered sugar with granulated--blend in blender until the consistency is correct and there is the amount you need. If it is being used in something that requires a bit of thickening, add small amounts of cornstarch until reaching the desired thickness. As a baker with over 35 years of experience, I would not substitute powdered for granulated sugar.
Powdered sugar is not the same as regular sugar. Regular sugar is granulated, while powdered sugar is finely ground and mixed with a small amount of cornstarch.
I always use powdered. I've never used granulated, but powdered has always worked well and granulated doesn't seem like it would work.
Sure, you can use powdered sugar in Kool-Aid instead of granulated sugar, but be prepared for a sweeter drink since powdered sugar is more concentrated. Just make sure to mix it well to avoid any clumps at the bottom of your glass. Enjoy your sugar rush!
I wouldn't. You are likely to wind up with a saggy, disappointing mess. Powdered sugar dissolves instantly. Granulated does not. Follow the directions for the whipped cream you are making.
