Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water for a thinner glaze or milk (for a thicker glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt optional

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Spoon or whisk for stirring
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Airtight container (for storing leftovers)

Method
 

  1. Mix Sugar and Liquid: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water (or milk for a thicker glaze). Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add Flavor: Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if desired.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add more liquid, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your preferred consistency. If it’s too thin, allow it to simmer for an additional minute to thicken.
  4. Cool and Drizzle: Allow the glaze to cool slightly before drizzling it over your baked goods. It will set and harden as it cools.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the glaze has set, your treats are ready to serve!

Notes

  • If you're looking for a thicker glaze, use milk instead of water.
  • You can add different flavors to the glaze by using extracts like almond, lemon, or cinnamon for a unique twist.
  • This glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply reheat gently before using again.
  • To make a more colorful glaze, you can add food coloring to suit your baked goods or occasion.
