Grinding
« on: January 22, 2013, 10:15:01 pm »
Hi, hoping I can get some advice, please?

Yesterday I was making cakes and icing.. I bought regular white sugar to grind my own icing sugar, and kept grinding on 10 for over a minute and still I had grainy icing... I read posts where a few seconds is all that is needed.. I am expecting a powder but don't get it... Am I expecting too much? Also when I make "Nutella" or peanut butter I hope for the super smooth consistency from the shop versions, but it is always grainy...

Thanks in advance

 ;D Just beat me to it, Judy! 

Hi Meegles - and a warm welcome to the forum! Have a good look at the link that Judy gave you - This method of grind/cool etc does work!  Good luck!

 :D :D  Sorry GF, I'm a bit like a dog fetching a ball when I see a question that I know there is an answer to on the forum.  :-* :-*

DG, tried it again and it took me to icing sugar - GF, it worked for you didn't it?

That's really odd... When I looked at that link earlier it was fine. Just looked again and it was chick peas ???

Meegles- the idea is to grind the sugar then let cool/grind and then let cool... Repeat this around 10x so it is not gritty... This is advice from Tenina holder .. TMX author extraordinaire :)

I keep getting the icing sugar thread (topic 10808.0) but I've re-done it to see if it removes the gremlins.  That is weird GF.

You're not going to believe this . . . . on both at the moment. On the PC  clicked on Judy's link and it takes you to icing sugar . . .

On the iphone, clicked on link and it's chickpeas again . .

I think this is how wars can start :o ??? ???

After all that discussion I just had to try the link to see if I got chick peas or icing sugar. I'm on the iPad and got icing sugar  :)

Ain't technology great.
