Sugar glaze is a sweet, glossy coating typically made from a mixture of powdered sugar and liquid, such as water, milk, or citrus juice. Often enhanced with vanilla extract or other flavorings, it is a popular topping for baked goods like donuts, cakes, and pastries across numerous cuisines, particularly in American and European desserts. Its smooth consistency comes from carefully balancing the sugar with liquid to achieve the desired thickness. While sugar glaze adds irresistible sweetness and visual appeal, it is high in refined sugar and offers minimal nutritional benefits, contributing primarily empty calories without fiber, vitamins, or significant minerals. Moderation is key when enjoying sugar glaze, especially for those monitoring sugar intake. Using fresh fruit juice or natural sweeteners can provide a slightly healthier twist to this iconic topping.
