Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or heavy cream)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
Add the ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to the powdered sugar, and whisk until evenly combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop until fully liquefied but not browned.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk (or heavy cream) to the powdered sugar mixture.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, blend the mixture together until smooth. If the icing is too thick, gradually add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon flavor if needed by adding a bit more powdered sugar or cinnamon.
Use immediately to drizzle over your favorite baked goods, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 hours before use.
