This is where powdered sugar reigns supreme. Regular sugar would make your frosting gritty. Powdered sugar dissolves like magic into creamy heaven.
Try making a quick glaze. Two cups powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a drop of vanilla. Stir and watch it turn into glossy liquid gold.
Regular sugar in a glaze? You’d get crunchy, sad milk. Don’t do it. Stick to the dust.
The Hot Drink Hack
Can you stir powdered sugar into coffee? Absolutely. It dissolves faster than regular sugar. No crunchy bits at the bottom of your mug.
But taste test first. It’s less sweet per spoonful. You might need two spoonfuls instead of one. Plus, that faint cornstarch flavor? Some people notice it.
Fun fact: Powdered sugar was originally called “icing sugar” because it was made for icing. The name stuck. It’s a specialist, not a generalist.
