Can you use regular granulated or powdered sugar in place of superfine?

Yes, you can use regular granulated or powdered sugar in place of superfine sugar, but the texture of your baked goods may be slightly different.

Superfine sugar is a type of granulated sugar that has been ground into a finer texture. This makes it dissolve more easily and incorporate more smoothly into baked goods.

When you use regular granulated sugar instead of superfine sugar, you may notice a slight difference in the texture of your baked goods. The sugar may not dissolve as completely, which can result in a slightly gritty texture. Additionally, regular granulated sugar may not mix as evenly into your batter or dough which could affect the overall consistency.

Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners’ sugar, is made from granulated sugar that has been ground into a very fine powder and mixed with cornstarch to prevent caking. Powdered sugar is often used for frostings, glazes, and icings because it dissolves quickly and smoothly.

If you do not have superfine sugar on hand, you can make your own by grinding regular granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until it reaches a fine texture. You can also use powdered sugar instead of superfine sugar, but keep in mind that powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which can affect the taste and texture of your baked goods.
