yep, as previously stated, the "powdered sugar" taht you buy today is full of
cornstarch, so it yields a very different result.
you can achieve medieval style powdered sugar by taking regular sugar and running it
in the blender or if you're really crazy, a mortar and pestle ;)
I am curious as to what the grain size of medieval powdered sugar would be...would it
be like our bakers sugar, or finer?
