Gryphon's Aeire Food Fact - Confectioners Sugar

Confectioner's sugar is also called powdered sugar, and 
icing sugar in the United Kingdom. 

White granulated sugar is very finely ground, sifted and 
mixed with about 1% to 3% starch, cornstarch, or calcium 
phosphate to keep it dry and to prevent caking.  

10X (ultrafine or superfine) is the finest powder and what 
you will find on your supermarket shelves.  

Bakers and confectioners are the only ones who have a use for 
other grades such as 4X (fine) and 6X (very fine).  

If you have no confectioner's sugar, you can put some 
granulated (regular) sugar in a blender with a pinch of 
cornstarch and process it.
