Homemade Powdered Sugar Made Without Cane Sugar

What Do I Use In Place of Cane Sugar?

 

I am super excited to share this awesome and simple post with you all today!  What is it?  Homemade powdered sugar.  But this homemade powdered sugar isn’t made from granulated cane sugar, it is made with granulated honey or dehydrated powdered maple syrup.

Granulated honey and powdered maple syrup are simply dehydrated and sold in granulated form.  This is great when you are creating glazes or cooking a recipe that requires very little liquid.

I know it sounds different, but I wanted to share with you another alternative to powdered sugar that might please your taste buds all the same.

This recipe will take you less than a minute to whip up and it tastes AMAZING!

    Wow. OK. Does anyone know how to make dried/dehydrated honey or maple syrup?

      Here in Tucson, I find dried honey at Asian markets. It’s relatively inexpensive too. About $3 or $4 for a mayonnaise size jar.

    Just an FYI, check the label carefully on your granulated honey because a lot of the brands out there include cane syrup as one of (and often the first) ingredient.

    You are correct, many companies do add added ingredients. The two companies I recommend above only have honey and maple syrup in the ingredients and I highly recommend them. Thanks for bringing this up!

      Here is a quality brand of granulated honey that I recommend!

      • Evalyn Walton says

        Looking at the reviews on Amazon, many people note that the granulated honey you are recommending is NOT pure honey–in fact the first ingredient is refiner’s syrup. so it is not even 50% honey. Surely there is somewhere you can find truly pure honey.

        • Julie Snow says

          February 26, 2014 at 7:02 am

          I agree with Evelyn. The granulated honey you recommend is not just honey. I ordered granulated honey from a local co-op and it contained added sugar as well.

    Read the labels! I purchased granulated honey and it has artificial sweetener in it. I was disappointed.

    • Halle Cottis says

      January 21, 2014 at 5:23 pm

      I agree! It is very important to read the labels for sure. The honey I recommend in this post is a quality source with no added sugar.

      • Suize says

        July 22, 2015 at 11:26 am

        The dried honey used in this post.. contains Refiners Syrup (aka: sugar) I know, because I purchased some recently and returned due to it’s deception.

        Does anyone know of a better, more reliable source?

        • Suize says

          July 22, 2015 at 11:32 am

          Looks like all granulated honey is made the same way. It is a process. Might be better off with the dehydrated Maple syrup. I think I will try that one..

          In case anyone would like the info..
          Honey is the world’s oldest sweetener, one of the few foods that will never spoil. In its liquid form, honey is used to enhance all kinds of sweet and savory foods. Granulated honey is made with co-crystalization of refinery syrup and liquid honey, then breaking the sweet dried crystals into fine granules. Use our granulated honey in the same way you would liquid honey, with added ease of storage and dissolving that dry crystals allows.

    Xylitol would work also. Finely ground and then follow your recipe. I just purchased some from Amazon and I’m very impressed. Actually tastes like sugar and the ratio is 1:1. Just make sure you get the one from Birch and not corn.
