BASIC SUGAR GLAZE
Steps:
- 1. Place the sugar in a medium bowl and slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.
Tips:
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. Real vanilla extract is more flavorful and aromatic than artificial vanilla extract.
- If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use vanilla bean paste or vanilla powder. Use half the amount of vanilla bean paste or vanilla powder as you would vanilla extract.
- You can add other flavors to the glaze, such as almond extract, lemon zest, or orange zest. Just be sure to add them to taste.
- If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or water. If the glaze is too thin, you can thicken it up by simmering it for a few minutes.
- Once the glaze has cooled slightly, you can brush it over cakes, cookies, pies, or other desserts. You can also drizzle it over ice cream or fruit.
Conclusion:
This basic vanilla glaze is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor and shine to your desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're baking, be sure to give this glaze a try.
