Add sugar and cornstarch to a high speed blender or spice grinder and grind for 15 seconds or until the mixture has reached the desired texture.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry area for up to 3 months.

I do not suggest you freeze this recipe as sugar can be sensitive to moisture..
Many spice grinders can be pretty small. If you have a smaller one, it’s fine to do it in smaller portions at a time. I tend to combine it all in a bowl and whisk or sift it anyways, just as an added “why not” step.
Food processors, unless they have a special setting for this, will not get the sugar fine enough to make powdered sugar.
If your sugar still feels a little gritty and rough, you may need to grind longer.
