• How Do You Sift Brown Sugar?

    This drives me mad as well! If I don't sieve it when making my carrot cake, it lumps in the cake and is rubbish!
    So time consuming and frustrating!

    3 months since your thread, so you may have Googled the answer. If I want to convert say white regular granulated into confectioners or powdered sugar, I use a blender. Do you have a stand-alone blender or one that attaches to a
    food processor? If yes, the answer is to blend the quantity in several
    batches i.e. cover the blades by 2 inches of sugar only.

    I use the same technique, if I sieve brown sugar, in particular the sticky stuff which maybe high in molasses. The only difference is, I add cornflour, which will help it stop 'caking'. I use about 1 teaspoon per cup, rather
    than 1 tablespoon, as suggested here :-
