Uses for icing sugar

• Decorating: It is essential for making royal icing for decorating cookies and cakes, as it dissolves easily without heat and hardens when dry.

• Drizzles and glazes: It can be mixed with liquids like milk, water, or fruit juice to create a simple glaze or drizzle for muffins, scones, and other baked goods.
• Dusting: A light dusting of icing sugar adds a professional finish to pancakes, French toast, and pies.
