This glaze whisks together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a smooth, pourable topping that sets with a glossy sheen. It drizzles neatly over cakes, cinnamon rolls, scones, and donuts, firming up slightly as it cools without turning hard or chalky. Adjust the milk a tablespoon at a time to reach the thickness you want for drizzling or dipping.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the sifted powdered sugar and salt together to break up any clumps.

  2. Add the milk and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.

  3. Check the consistency; if the glaze is too thick to drizzle, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches the desired thickness.

  4. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled baked goods immediately, or let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly before using as a dip.
