do i need to sift icingsugar when baking lemon squares
The answer to how many cups are in one pound of powdered sugar will vary depending on if your powdered sugar is sifted or unsifted. In general: 1 pound = 3 1/2 to 4 cups unsifted powdered sugar. 1 pound = 4 1/2 cups sifted powered sugar.
Yes
1 US cup of powdered sugar is 4-oz, thus 4 cupsper 16-oz box, Therefore, in a 2 pound box, there should be 8 cups? I think
Number of CupsThere are about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of powdered sugar in a pound. But this depends on the sugar's humidity, moisture, and density. Sifting adds air and increases volume, therefore sifted powdered sugar would be less dense than unsifted.3 1/2 cups unsifted powdered sugar = 1 pound4 cups sifted powdered sugar = 1 pound2 cups
Yes, but only if the recipe calls for that TYPE of sugar.
Confectioners sugar and powdered sugar are the same, so yes, you are using the same thing regardless of what the recipe calls for.
Um, yes. Confectioners sugar is the same thing as powdered sugar - just a different name.
it depends on what you are making. some things it may not work, but others it should be ok. what are you making?
There are two US cups in 16 ounces. That's correct in liquid measurements. One 16 oz. package of powdered sugar is about 4 cups.
Sugar is my favorite food pyramid. On that pyramid, brown sugar is my fave food group! Powdered sugar is uber fine!
My recipe uses 6 oz icing sugar (powdered) and 3 oz of caster sugar and it works every time but I think the icing sugar (powdered) is important. Just checked 2 other recipes on www and they both use both types of sugar so I guess you should go and get some.
