Make Your Own Caster Sugar & Icing Sugar !

Make your own caster sugar & icing sugar!
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 !

  10. I 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!
