Powdered sugar is as fine as snow, white and delicate, and melts in water. A sprinkle of it when making desserts not only adds sweetness but also makes the surface look more refined, such as when decorating cookies or macarons, instantly brightening their appearance. It dissolves faster than granulated sugar, and when added to butter or batter, it prevents lumps from forming, resulting in a smoother texture. Its sweetness is mild and not overpowering; when paired with butter and flour, it softens the flavor of desserts, making it a common and helpful ingredient in baking, subtly enhancing the taste and appearance of desserts.
