Recipe calls for powdered sugar that i do not have can i use something else?

I don't think many recipes that need powdered sugar would work with a substitute, but you can make powdered sugar if you have a food processor. Put granulated sugar in the food processor and a little corn starch (about one teaspoon of corn starch to one cup of sugar). Run the food process for several minutes checking periodically to see if the sugar is fine enough. When it's powdery you can use it in your recipe.
