  • Let the glaze set at least 15 minutes before serving so it can cool. The glaze will form a bit of a crust on top as it sits but whisk before using and it’ll dissolve right back into the glaze.

  • Pour or drizzle the glaze over baked goods or dip doughnuts, muffins, and cupcakes into the glaze.

Notes

  1. A small saucepan can be used instead of a milk pan. You won't need larger than a 1-quart pot.
