Notes
- Depending on what you’re using the powdered sugar icing for, you may want a different consistency. You can do this by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker icing. Be sure to add the ingredients gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
- The best way to get a super smooth consistency is to combine the ingredients using a whisk. Be sure to whisk thoroughly until there are no lumps.
- Switch up the color by adding some food coloring.
- For a bright white powdered sugar icing, try using clear imitation vanilla instead of pure vanilla extract.
