How to Make Homemade Powdered Sugar

In a blender, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is a fine, consistent powder.
Sift the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps (optional, but recommended for super smooth results).
