Ingredients

To whip up this delicious glaze, you will need the following ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (any type)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Food coloring (optional, for a fun twist)

Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s follow these simple steps to create your glaze:

Start by sifting the powdered sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. This ensures there are no lumps and gives your glaze a smooth texture.
Add the milk to the powdered sugar, starting with just 2 tablespoons. The amount of milk can be adjusted depending on how thick or thin you want your glaze to be.
If you want to add flavor, add the vanilla extract at this point. If you’d like to incorporate some fun color into your glaze, now’s the time to mix in a few drops of food coloring.
Using a whisk, mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit more milk; if it’s too thin, add a sprinkle more of powdered sugar.
Once your glaze is ready, drizzle it over your cooled baked goods using a spoon or pour it directly into a piping bag for more control.

This Easy Powdered Sugar Glaze not only tastes fantastic but also adds that perfect finishing touch to your desserts. It’s versatile, too! You can easily adjust the flavor and color to match different occasions, making it a go-to recipe for all your baking needs.
