Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (optional, for extra shine)
Instructions
- Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl to remove lumps.
- Add milk and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth. If using corn syrup, add it now.
- If glaze is too thick, add more milk a teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; whisk before using.
Tips
- For a flavored glaze, replace vanilla with almond, lemon, or orange extract.
- To thicken, let sit for a few minutes or add more sugar; to thin, add a few drops of milk.
- Apply glaze to cooled pastries for best results.
