Alright, let’s talk about this non-melting confectioners sugar thing. You know, the kind they say won’t turn all gooey on your baked goods. I heard some folks call it “snow sugar” or “donut sugar” too. Sounds fancy, huh? But is it any good?
Well, first off, finding this stuff ain’t always easy. Unless you got one of them fancy-schmancy bakery stores nearby, you might have to go online. And you know how I feel about buying things online – I like to see what I’m getting with my own two eyes! But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
Now, they say this non-melting sugar is different from regular powdered sugar. Apparently, it’s made so it don’t soak up moisture like a sponge. That means your pretty little cookies and cakes won’t get all sticky and messy looking, especially if you’re making them ahead of time for a big get-together or something.
- But here’s the kicker: it ain’t quite as sweet as the regular powdered sugar. That’s what they say, anyways. So, you gotta think about that. If you want things super sweet, maybe you gotta use a little more, or maybe just stick with the old stuff.
- I ain’t no expert baker, mind you. I make my pies and cakes the way my mama taught me, and she never used no fancy non-melting sugar. But times are changing, I reckon. Folks are always looking for the next best thing.
I saw some of this sugar online… Roots Circle Confectioners Sugar it was called. Said it was Non-GMO, Gluten-Free and all that. Kosher for Passover, too! Sounded mighty high-falutin’ to me. Said it was good for glazes and fudge. Well, my glazes and fudge always tasted just fine with regular sugar, but maybe this stuff makes it even better? I don’t know.
I guess it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re making something real pretty and you don’t want it to get all melty-looking, then maybe this non-melting sugar is worth a try. Especially if it’s hot and humid, or if you’re taking your goodies to a picnic or something where they might sit out for a while. You don’t want your hard work turning into a sticky mess, that’s for sure.
But if you just want something sweet and tasty, and you ain’t too worried about how it looks, then regular old powdered sugar will do just fine. That’s what I always say: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” But sometimes it’s fun to try new things, I suppose. Maybe I’ll get me some of that snow sugar and see what all the fuss is about. Can’t hurt to try it once, right?
I tell you what though, it better be worth the extra money and the trouble of ordering it online. I ain’t made of money, you know! And I don’t like waiting around for things to get delivered. I like to go to the store, get what I need, and be done with it. But if this non-melting sugar really does keep my baked goods looking pretty, then maybe it’s worth the hassle. We’ll see.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this non-melting confectioners sugar. It might be good, it might not be. You gotta try it for yourself and see what you think. Me? I’m still on the fence. But I’m always open to learning new tricks, even if I am an old lady who’s been baking the same way for fifty years!
And don’t forget, the most important thing about baking ain’t whether your sugar melts or not. It’s about putting love into what you make. That’s what makes it taste good, no matter what kind of sugar you use. So go on, bake something delicious, and don’t worry too much about the fancy stuff. Just have fun with it!
Just remember, you can find this “snow sugar” or “donut sugar” online if you cannot find it in your local stores. And remember the name, Roots Circle Confectioners Sugar, it seems good for folks with special needs like avoiding GMOs or gluten. But for me, the old ways are usually the best, so we’ll see, we’ll see.
