  • ¼ teaspoon Maple Extract

Equipment

  • Milk Pan

  2. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and extract until smooth and no lumps remain.

  3. Stir until the glaze is smooth and drizzles nicely off the spoon.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
