Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 2 tablespoons milk (or water)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar.
Gradually add the milk (or water), starting with 2 tablespoons. Stir using a whisk or fork until the mixture begins to come together. Add more liquid, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
Mix in the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
Check the glaze's consistency: it should be smooth and pourable but not too runny. If it’s too thick, add additional liquid sparingly. If it’s too thin, mix in a little more powdered sugar.
Use immediately by drizzling over your baked goods. The glaze will begin to set after a few minutes.
