How to Make Basic Vanilla Glaze

  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk (start with 2 and add more for desired consistency), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, or until smooth. Stir well.
  3. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
  4. Let the glaze stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before drizzling over your favorite baked goods.
