Icing sugar contains cornflour or wheat flour sometimes to make it lighter and to make it flow easier. The starch content would come from either of those.

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.


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


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.


How many spoons is 85grams of icing sugar?

The number of spoons in 85 grams of icing sugar depends on the size of the spoon used. Typically, a standard tablespoon holds about 15 grams of icing sugar, so 85 grams would be approximately 5 to 6 tablespoons. If using a teaspoon, which holds about 5 grams, it would be around 17 teaspoons.


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.

How many cups in 250g of icing sugar?

There are approximately 2 cups in 250 grams of icing sugar. The conversion can vary slightly depending on factors like how tightly the sugar is packed, but a general rule of thumb is that 1 cup of icing sugar weighs about 120 grams. Therefore, for 250 grams, you would use a little over 2 cups.
