Notes
If powdered sugar appears clumpy, sift or whisk before integrating with butter and juice.
Best used on room temperature baked goods - cookies, cakes, pound cakes, bundt cakes, bars, donuts, breads and more.
If needed, add glaze to a large microwavable measuring cup and warm for a smooth pour or in a bowl to dip muffins and cookies.
To Thicken or Thin Glaze
Please note altering will affect how the glaze sets. Thicken- Add additional powdered sugar a teaspoon at a time.
- Reduce powdered sugar adding a half cup at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Add more lemon juice or for a classic take, add milk, a teaspoon at a time.
- Warm.
Substitutions
Butter - Salted or unsalted, your preference. Powdered Sugar - Also known as confectioner's sugar. Substitute with white granulated sugar. Pulse in a small food processor or blender until it becomes fine in texture. Organic powdered sugar is not a suitable substitute (it tends to clump). Lemon Juice - Juice 2 medium to large lemons for fresh flavor or substitute with ¼ cup lemon juice found in the produce section of your grocer.- Avoid organic powdered sugar. It doesn't achieve a desirable consistency.
- Warm the glaze in the microwave (you can use a measuring cup).
- Whisk until smooth to remove any lumps.
- Pour over your baked goods rather than spread for a beautiful finish.
Storage Notes
Store glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature, warm and drizzle. For best results, do not freeze.Nutrition
