Gryphon's Aeire Food Fact - Powdered 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 use most 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.
