Ingredients
- 120 grams Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or water for a thinner glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps for a smoother glaze.
Step 2
Add the milk (or water) to the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 3
If you'd like to add additional flavor, stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
Adjust the consistency as needed: for a thicker glaze, add a few teaspoons of powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add a few drops of milk or water.
Step 5
Use the glaze immediately by drizzling it over your baked goods with a spoon, or pour it into a piping bag for more control.
Step 6
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving for a firmer finish.
