Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the powdered sugar and stir with a whisk or spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Step 3
Mix in the pure vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and the glaze is smooth.
Step 4
If the glaze is too thick, add milk a small splash at a time until you reach your desired consistency for drizzling or spreading.
Step 5
Taste the glaze and adjust the vanilla or almond extract if desired, keeping in mind that almond extract is potent and should be added sparingly.
Step 6
Once smooth and the consistency is to your liking, use the glaze immediately to drizzle over cakes, cookies, or pastries. Allow to set for 10–15 minutes if a firmer finish is desired.
