How to Substitute Powdered Sugar for Regular Sugar
You've started the recipe and you reach into the pantry only to discover that you are out of granulated sugar. All that remains on the pantry shelf is a bag of powdered sugar. In most recipes, you can easily replace the granulated sugar with the powdered type without any noticeable differences. Powdered sugar is the same product as granulated sugar, only has been ground to the powdered state.
