[Food] Home made icing sugar

[karohemd]

I didn't have any icing sugar for my Kaiserschmarrn (my recipe) so I thought I'd try making my own.
I placed some demerera sugar (which I prefer to refined sugars) in my mini food processor, which is an attachment for my stick blender, and pulsed until I ended up with a fine powder.
It's not quite as fine as the shop bought stuff (maybe blending some more would do the trick) but it's from unrefined sugar so it tastes better.
I should have taken some pics of the process to show the difference but didn't think of it, sorry.

I'll have to make this for moomin_puffin and you sometime. :D

I do this all the time - you do have to keep blending it till it gets as fine as you need it (I tend to use white sugar also).

It infuriates my girlfriend who keeps wanting to buy me icing sugar as it involves less cleaning of white dust from everything.

I was quite impressed with the dust cloud that came out when I opened the blender. ;)

If you do it in the dark it should glow. When you crush or break sugar it releases energy. :-)

Interesting! I will have to try this when it's completely dark.
ETA: I *think* there was a faint glow but I'm not sure. I guess it produces more heat than light.
