For the Vanilla Glaze

Add milk slowly—aim for a ribbon-like consistency that flows smooth as a tide

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Milk (2 To 4 Tablespoons)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until combined.
  2. Add additional milk, one splash at a time, until glaze is smooth and falls in a ribbon from the whisk.
  3. Whisk in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Re-whisk before using.

Notes

This glaze is a versatile treasure—perfect for drizzling over scones, cinnamon rolls, or bundt cakes. Light, sweet, and fragrant as a breeze off the bow. Adjust thickness with milk to suit your vessel of choice.
