Malt Powdered Sugar
This sugar will become your go to powdered sugar, as the addition of Dry malt Extract (DME) adds a depth of flavor to any finished dish using this base sugar ingredient. This pantry staple is easy to make, sifting together 4 parts powdered sugar to 1 part DME. Depending on the type and variety of Dry Malt Extract used, it will impart its unique flavor profile and alter the color of the finished flavor of the Malt Powdered Sugar. Golden Light Dried Malt Extract, Pilsner Dried Malt Extract, Amber Dried Malt Extract, Dark Dried Malt Extract, Bavarian Wheat Dried Malt Extract, or Maltoferm A-6001 Powder, can be used to create this Malt Powdered Sugar.
This Malt Powdered Sugar should be stored into a tight fitting container or mason jar if you live in a humid area. After you make this recipe, try using it in the Chocolate Malt Crinkle Cookies, Lemon Saison Bars, to a Frosting | Glaze | Coating over a cake or Beer Donuts | Doughnuts.
- 4 part sugar, powdered
- 1 part Dry Malt Extract (DME) available at Beer Beer and More Beer
- As this recipe is a ratio or powdered sugar to Dry Malt Extract (DME), the volume is all depending on how much or little you want to make and have at your ready in the Craft Beer Cuisine Kitchen. The ratio that I like the best is a 4 parts powdered sugar to 1 part DME. A part can be a cup, making 5 cups of finished Malt Powdered Sugar or a tablespoon, yielding 5 tablespoons of this sugar.
- Begin by using a fine strainer or sieve to sift together the desired amount of powdered sugar and DME. Once sifted, use a whisk, slowly and carefully (not to make a big dust cloud in the kitchen) mix the ingredients together evenly.
- Transfer the finished Malt Powdered Sugar to a sealable container, such as a Wide Mouth Quart Mason Jar, label and date it and have it ready in your pantry.
