Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
- Using a whisk, mix until smooth.
Notes
- Measurements above will yield a consistency of vanilla icing that is perfect for our apple slab pie or cheese danish.
- For a thinner glaze (to be used on peach hand pies to create a transluscent glaze), we recommend thinning the glaze by 2 teaspoons of milk at a time, until desired consistency.
- For a thicker glaze (to be used on cinnamon rolls), we recommend adding in 1/4 cup of powdered sugar at a time, until desired consistency.
- Flavor ideas- replace the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla with another flavor of extract, or fresh lemon juice. Lemon zest can also be added to the recipe to give more citrus flavor.
- Heavy whipping cream can be used instead of milk.
