This simple glaze combines powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon into a pourable topping with warm, spiced sweetness. It sets up with a light sheen and a soft, matte finish once drizzled, making it ideal for cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, muffins, or quick breads. Mix it right before serving so it stays pourable and glossy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined and free of lumps.

  2. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of the milk to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth.

  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk, a little at a time, whisking until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency that drizzles easily off a whisk.

  4. Drizzle the glaze over cooled baked goods immediately, as it will begin to set within about 15 minutes.
