Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (pure)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or heavy cream)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup, milk (or heavy cream), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the powdered sugar.
Step 3
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk (a few drops at a time) if you prefer a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
Step 4
Taste the glaze and adjust the flavors as needed. Add a little more cinnamon for extra spice or a few drops of maple syrup for more sweetness.
Step 5
Once the glaze reaches your desired consistency, use it immediately to drizzle over cakes, muffins, scones, or any dessert of your choice. For best results, apply to a completely cool surface.
Step 6
Let the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
