Substitution for powdered sugar?

Question

I am making icing and the recipe calls for powdered sugar and all I have on hand is granulated sugar,any suggestions.

Answer 1

Mix 1 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon corn starch in blender until powdery, stirring often.

Answer 2

Boiled Icing
Two cupfuls sugar
One-half cupful water
Whites of two eggs

Put the sugar and water over the fire in a small saucepan, and
boil it until it spins a thread, or to 240° by the thermometer. Do
not stir. While the syrup is boiling, separate the eggs and beat the whites until they are stiff enough to stand, and as soon as the
syrup reaches the right degree, slowly pour the hot syrup into the
eggs, beating the mixture continually. Continue beating until the
icing becomes stiff enough to spread, and then quickly and deftly
spread it on the cake. If one is careless and beats the icing too
long, it sometimes sets before it can be put on the cake. The above is my momma's way of making icing when she is out of powder sugar. Hope this will help you out.

Answer 3

If all you have on hand is granulated sugar then you will probably have to use that. If you go to the store you could pick some up or some Splenda. I love Splenda and it tastes yummy and it has no fat.
