WHAT DOES POWDERED SUGAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Powdered sugar

Powdered sugar is very fine sugar which contains a small amount of anti-caking agent.Confectioners sugar and powdered sugar are two different terms for the exact same type of sugar. In industrial food production, it is used where a quick dissolving sugar is required. Domestically, it is principally used to make icing or frosting and other cake decorations. It is often lightly dusted onto baked goods to add a light sweetness and subtle decoration. Powdered sugar is available in different degrees of fineness, most commonly XXX, XXXX, and 10X, with more Xs indicating finer grains. Powdered sugar is generally mixed with cornstarch, wheat flour, or calcium phosphate to improve its flowing ability, and thus it is not generally used to sweeten beverages. Industrial grades without these additives are available. However, icing sugar in the UK does not have cornstarch or wheat flour added. One can make powdered sugar at home by putting normal granulated sugar in a coffee grinder or grinding it by hand in a mortar and pestle. Caster sugar has a larger particle size, up to approximately half that of granulated sugar.
