Metallic Tang in Confectioner's Sugar Tip

Hi, Korena in Canton ~ I have also noticed the
?metallic tang? in confectioner?s sugar that you
describe. I would suggest adding pure vanilla extract,
or increasing the amount if it is already called for in
the ingredients. In many baked goods I actually
double the amount called for. I notice the off-taste
most in the sugar alone and in recipes of few
ingredients like sugar glaze. If the sugar is older
the undesirable taste seems to be increased, so
be sure it is fresh. I like to store it well sealed
(inside a freezer Ziplock bag) in the refrigerator.
