Basic recipe: icing sugar

Powdered sugar, icing sugar, icing sugar and to sugar glass. There are many terms by which this is known powdered sugar essential for pastry and confectionery. The truth is that all the terms are correct, except the last one, as it does not come from English (glass = crystal), but from french (glacé = ice). The most widely accepted in Spanish is icing sugar, but in Colombia it is powdered sugar; in Venezuela, it is nevazucar; in Chile it is sugar flower; and in many other countries, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, it is sugar impalpable. And if I forget a name, please forgive me and share it, we always learn a lot from your contributions.

Icing sugar is used in many recipes: cookies, pastry, biscuits… The commercial version is usually more expensive than traditional white sugar. However, with Thermomix, we buy the blanquilla and we have icing sugar in less than 1 minute. Just use the turbo.

It is essential that the glass and blades are clean and dry.[br]It is not advisable to make more than 300 g at a time. It is not sprayed evenly. [br]It can be flavored by adding an ingredient: a little vanilla (branch or powder, not liquid), a little citrus peel (always dehydrated), cinnamon. [br]It can be stored just like sugar, in a closed canning jar. If you are going to store it for a long time or in a place with high humidity, add 20 g of cornstarch to the sugar before grinding. The starch in the flour will absorb moisture and prevent it from caking.
