How to Make Glaze

Simple White Glaze: In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar), 1-1/2 teaspoons of milk (or half-and-half), and a touch of vanilla.

Clear Glaze: Instead of milk, use water!

Flavored Glaze: Add a pop of flavor by substituting lemon juice or orange juice in place of the milk.

Test Kitchen Tip: It's always better to put a little less liquid to start, and add more if needed. You can always add more, but you can't take out!

Once you've got your glaze ready, just pour it into a plastic baggie, seal it tight, and trim one of the corners. Now, you can easily pipe your glaze onto anything!

Now that you know how to make glaze, why not try your hand at adding a little glaze to these easy dessert recipes?
