Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice plus more as needed
Instructions
- Measure out powdered sugar into a bowl or measuring glass. Add 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and whisk well. If mixture seems too thick, add a bit more lemon juice, a splash at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Generally I look for a consistency where, when the whisk is lifted from the glaze, the ribbon that falls holds its shape for a second or two before dissolving back into the bowl.1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- Drizzle over cooled baked goods. Allow to solidify before serving (optional but less messy!).
Notes
This recipe makes a bit less than a cup of glaze, which is enough for me to cover a quick bread or a dozen muffins or a bundt cake, or a batch of cinnamon rolls. Feel free to scale it up or down according to your preference and needs.
