Can I use normal sugar instead of icing sugar for buttercream?

Which sugar do I use to make icing sugar? You can use either granulated or caster sugar. The coarser the sugar you use, the more evenly your icing sugar will blend. It makes sense, then, to use granulated if you have it, but caster also does a pretty good job.

Can I use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar?

Powdered sugar is simply granulated sugar that has been crushed into a fine powder. Cornstach is often added to powdered sugar to prevent clumping. 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar can be substituted for 1 cup granulated sugar but the sucess of the recipe really depends on how you are using the sugar.

What is the difference between granulated sugar and powdered sugar?

The major difference between powdered sugar and granulated sugar is in the size of their particles. Granulated sugar particles are bigger and formed from large sugar granules. Powdered sugar, on the other hand, has been blended to a fine powder and is lighter and less dense.

How do you make homemade brown sugar?

Directions

Pour molasses on top of white sugar in a bowl. For light brown sugar mix ½ cup white sugar with 2 tsp. molasses.
Stir until well combined. I like to use a fork to help break up clumps.
Store your brown sugar in an air tight container to keep it from drying out.

How do you make brown sugar without molasses?

If you don’t have or want to use molasses, you can try these alternatives:

Try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to a cup of granulated sugar.
Agave nectar also can be used, mixing a tablespoon with a cup of granulated sugar.
Buckwheat honey has a strong flavor much like molasses.

Is brown sugar or honey better for you?

Sugar is higher on the glycemic index (GI) than honey, meaning it raises blood sugar levels more quickly. This is due to its higher fructose content, and the absence of trace minerals. But honey has slightly more calories than sugar, although it is sweeter, so less may be required.
