Caster sugar & icing sugar are always more expensive to buy, so why not just make your own. Just buy ordinary white sugar and blitz it in your blender, to make caster sugar and blitz a little longer to make icing sugar. That way you only need to buy one product to create 3 products, saves time and money. Have you ever decided to cook something, then read the ingredients and you haven't got any caster sugar or icing sugar or not enough for the recipe, so you cannot make it or you'll need to take a trip to the shop to buy some.Well I hope this tip will save you both time and money in the future.
Or do you do this already !
great tip thanks heaps... I will def give it a go. Donna
ReplyDeleteHey Sherrie, I've been meaning to do this too...but not sure my old whizzer will do it...she's getting tired.....will try it when I get back...but no point dong heaps until I run out of what I have either....thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYep, another great tip from Sherrie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Thank you. The organic sugar in our supermarket is not much dearer than regular. Now I can have organic caster and icing sugar too. Thank heaps.
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea! One I would have never thought of!
ReplyDeleteI've done this...works great. thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI have done it for caster sugar but not for icing sugar...great tip! :-)
ReplyDeletejust to say i read this and then tried it for making caster sugar using a ceap coffee/spice grinder and it worked great thanks for the tip:-)
ReplyDeletei meant cheap grinder:-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea --- thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of just buying one product instead of three! I haven't bought self raising flour since I found out that all I have to do is add baking powder to plain!! Sooooo.... I only buy plain flour now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, cause i couldn't find caster sugar and had to bake a ake for the party i'm having.
