In reply to Michael. Hi Michael, We have previously used this powdered sugar in frostings and glazes and haven't had any issues since such a small amount of cornstarch ends up in the final dish. If you'd rather avoid it, I'd recommend using store-bought organic powdered sugar instead.

In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley, Sorry for the disappointment! This recipe comes out best when it's made with a blender, not a food processor. The S-blade isn't able to finely grind the sugar in the same way that a blender's blades can. I'd recommend trying this method with a blender in the future. Hope this helps!

So cornstarch cannot be eaten raw as it gives digestive issues to people UNLESS its cooked. How praytell do i make a filling for a cookie using this if it contains raw cornstarch and i cant cook it? For instance in this recipe the filling calls for powdered sugar and i would use this substitute but then id ve eating raw cornstarch. Any ideas/sokutions?

30 seconds? I used Morena’s raw cane sugar which may be coarser than granulated sugar and take longer, so I feel like I let it go for more like a minute or two. I used my cuisinart food processor and when it wasn’t working, I poured the contents in a bowl and tried sifting the ingredients back in because I thought maybe the cornstarch was clumping or something. The cornstarch became almost smoke like and I thought it was working, but the sugar was still grainy. I was in a slight hurry and perhaps I could have let it go for longer and see what happened. Bummer.

In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy, I am also allergic to corn and have used Tapioca starch and it worked well. I’m sure Arrowroot works equally well although I have not tried that one. I have also used Potato starch and Sweet Potato starch with just as much success.

In reply to Sultana. Hi Sultana, I am also allergic to corn and have used potato starch, sweet potato starch, and tapioca starch/flour as well. They all have worked just fine for me. Use the same measurement as the corn starch in this recipe for any of the other starches you choose to use.

In reply to Sultana. Hi Sultana, I haven't tried rice, but I use arrowroot starch interchangably.

Can I use rice starch because I’m allergic to corn?
