Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Add the maple syrup, milk (or heavy cream), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the powdered sugar.
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.
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.
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.
Let the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
