This simple glaze whisks together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and a splash of cream into a pourable topping for scones, donuts, cinnamon rolls, or pound cake. It firms up into a thin, glossy coat as it sits, with a rounded sweetness that leans on real maple rather than artificial flavoring.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.

  2. Check the consistency: it should coat the back of a spoon in a thin, even layer. If too thick, whisk in cream a few drops at a time; if too thin, whisk in more powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time.

  3. Drizzle or pour the glaze over cooled baked goods immediately, letting it set at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
