Ingredients
- 240 grams Powdered sugar
- 57 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth icing.
Step 2
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter for about 20 seconds or until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly so it does not curdle the milk.
Step 3
Add the melted butter to the sifted powdered sugar.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix well using a whisk or spoon. The icing should start to come together as a creamy and smooth mixture.
Step 5
If the icing is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of milk, a bit at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. For drizzling, the icing should be slightly runny but not overly thin.
Step 6
Taste and, if desired, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
Step 7
Drizzle the prepared icing over warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately. Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
