You can make superfine and powdered sugar with regular granulated sugar by processing it in a food processor or coffee grinder with a metal blade. Just process a little more sugar than you will need on high speed for 1-2 minutes depending on the consistency you want. Tap the top of the processor to let the sugar settle then process for another 10-20 seconds. That’s it!
