Default What to make with powered sugar?

I have a new bag of powered sugar which my wife sprinkles on her
pancakes, but in order to use it faster I was wondering if there are
any receipes calling for lots of it. Sprinkling it on stuff takes a
long time. Could you use some of it in dough when you make bread or
pizza or something like that. I had some "kolotches sp?" the other
day, and the dough tasted sweet.

Thanks

Tom

Why not seal it well and just keep using it. The sugar won't go bad so you
have a couple of years supply. It is good for making frosting for cakes. It
has a bit of cornstarch so it does not dissolve like regular sugar does in
tea or coffee.

You can use it to make fudge or icing. You can make dessert pizza. Bake
some pizza dough with no savory seasonings on it. You can add cinnamon and
regular sugar if you want. Cool until just warm. Drizzle it with a glaze
made of powdered sugar and water or milk. If you want it richer, add a
small amount of butter or margarine, softened. If you want more flavor, add
a bit of vanilla and /or cinnamon.

There are plenty of fudge recipes online. The one that I made last was
Paula Deen's.

Fudge is up there!

I also like Alton Browns Hot Cocoa Mix.

It's the brown acid. He doesn't remember anything. His long term memory is
long gone, his short term memory is twisted and has holes in it.

Sad but true.

It keeps forever. I've been on the same batch for ages - not like
you're tying up the family fortune in powdered sugar.

By the way, what did you do about that fritatta situation you asked
about? (cook at home vs. cook at host's house)

I made it at home, and then took it with me.
Everyone liked it.

Keep it tightly closed and in an airtight container and it will keep
forever. It's not going to spoil.

Cake frosting uses it up pretty quickly.

Are you stupid or something? Why the hell would you put powdered
sugar in pizza crust?

You can put your powdered sugar into a good quality container and it
will keep for quite some time. I've had a can up in the pantry for
going on three years now.

Three years? I go through a one pound bag of powdered sugar per month.
Hot cocoa, late at night during the cold winter, curled up with a good
book.

Depends whether it's high-powered or low-powered sugar.
High-powered sugar goes faster ;-).
