Powdered Sugar

The answer to how many cups are in one pound of powdered sugar will vary depending on if your powdered sugar is sifted or unsifted. In general: 1 pound = 3 1/2 to 4 cups unsifted powdered sugar. 1 pound = 4 1/2 cups sifted powered sugar.

Regardless of what is being measured, 8 oz is equal to 1 cup.

True, if it's fluid ounces. If ounces are weight, it's not the same - a cup of lead and a cup of sugar can't both weigh 8 oz. This is yet another problem with using these archaic measurements rather than metric.

So first determine whether the 8 oz means volume (then it's a cup) or weight (use a kitchen scale).

How to make a pancake:

Put flour, eggs and milk in a bowl and whisk it. Pour some into the pan and wait for it to sort of harden flip it and put it on a plate. The only sugar you use is optional- to put it on the top, you can also add lemon. I love adding chocolate spread. YUM!!!

Powdered sugar makes for a lighter texture and flavor when used in making cookies. However, more powdered sugar than granular sugar has to be used to obtain a sweeter taste. Also, powdered sugar is used on top of sugar cookies, sprinkled, to create a design/decoration, and to give the taste buds the initial enjoyment when one first bites into the cookie.

do i need to sift icingsugar when baking lemon squares

half cup of caster sugar will be present in 4oz caster sugar.

Yes you can but you may be comrpromising flavour depending on what your are making.

Depends on the recipe. In some cases the larger grains of the sugar will ruin the texture and cause the mixture to not mix correctly, in other cases nothing will happen. If you are making a glaze out of confectioner's sugar and water, then regular sugar will not work.

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.

one cup equals 8 ounces, so therefore 5 ounces of granulated sugar equals 40 ounces. Because 5 ounces times 8 ounces equals 40 ounces.

You need to convert to the same method in order to find the answer. so if your trying to find how many _ pounds equals how many _ ounces. well lets say everyone knows that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, because 16 times 1 equals 16, therefore;

1 pound = 16 ounces

1 cup = 8 ounces

1 ounce = 0.12 cup

No but spoon it into a measuring cup as opposed to scooping it with the cup. The same with flour. When you scoop it with a measuring cup you are actually compacting it and getting too much.

If you seal the container well it could last very very long. Moisture is the cause of clumping. Heat could speed this up & even caramelize it. Generally if the sugar breaks up when mixed it is usable. Otherwise it is only good for cooking & coffee.

1 pound of powdered sugar or 1 "box" is right at 4 cups. I have measured and it comes out almost 4. Actually a little more than 3-3/4 cups.

I suppose you read the instructions on the box or experiment on the first batch with a small measured amount of water until you get it to a resonable consistancy. Save the information on how much water you added for later encounters.

If you don't have the packaging (for instance if you purchased the powder from a bulk bin) a usual rule of thumb is 1/4 - 1/3 cup dry powder per 1 cup water, or 1 cup dry powder per 3 - 4 cups water.

Powered sugar dissolves faster because it has more surface area.

You're trying to compare weight and volume. It doesn't really work properly. A pound is 16 ounces, and a cup is 8 fluid ounces, so you would expect a pound to be 2 cups. The problem is that the density of the sugar is a variable. If you pack the sugar into the measuring cup, it will weigh more, thereby coming out to more than a pound in weight.

Combining sugar (also known as sucrose) and an acid diluted with water (acetic acid, cream of tartar, citric acid, or asorbic acid) creates a reaction called inversion. The reaction converts sucrose into glucose and fructose.

This reaction is commonly used in cooking and candy making to prevent sugar crystals from forming in syrups and frosting.

8.818 ounces =250 grams so..........8 ounces=1 cup I figure it to be 8 and 3/4 ounces.

What is the shape of a round Lincoln penny? There is one cup of powdered sugar in a cup of sugar. Contrary to popular belief, this answer is wrong. Normal sugar has less efficient packing than powdered sugar, so you can fit more powdered sugar in a cup as opposed to normal sugar.

three and a half cups three and a half cups

Powdered sugar, icing sugar and confectioners sugar are all the same thing. It is usually known as icing sugar in England and powdered sugar in the USA. Confectioners sugar is used as an international name.
These are the same thing. Powdered sugar, icing sugar, and confectioners sugar are just different names for sugar than has been ground to a fine powder so that it dissolves very easily.

No, caster sugar is fine-ground granulated sugar. Confectioner's sugar is a mix of ultra-fine sugar and a starch; it is sometimes called icing sugar.

I believe they are 1 pound boxes
