Confectioner's Sugar

Confectioner's sugar, also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar, is a finely ground sugar with a smooth, soft texture, often containing a small amount of anti-caking agent like cornstarch to prevent clumping. This sugar dissolves quickly, making it ideal for creating smooth, creamy icings, frostings, and glazes. Its ultra-fine texture gives a delicate sweetness and a smooth finish to baked goods, enhancing both flavor and presentation. It's a staple for dusting pastries and adding a touch of elegance to cakes and cookies.
