Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Milk or water
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk or water to the bowl. Start with this amount and adjust later if needed to reach the desired consistency.
If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor. You can also experiment with other extracts, such as almond or lemon, depending on your recipe.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and lump-free. The icing should be runny enough to drizzle but thick enough to hold its shape on baked goods.
If the mixture is too thick, add more milk or water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a small amount of powdered sugar and whisk again.
Once the icing drizzle is ready, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle it over your baked goods. Work quickly, as the icing will begin to set after a few minutes.
Allow the icing to set for at least 15 minutes before serving or packing your baked goods.
