Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar, no need to sift
- 4 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice, or more if needed. Optional: strain the lemon juice to remove any pulp.
Instructions
- Put the powdered sugar into a deep bowl and add the lemon juice. Stir really well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until you have a smooth glaze. Note: if you have any small lumps in your glaze, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to allow them to dissolve.
- Your glaze will be fairly thick and spreadable. If you would like it thinner, just add a bit more lemon juice. Add a little at a time and stir well in between additions until you reach the consistency you like.
- If you need to thicken your glaze, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Plan to use your glaze right away, or cover tightly with plastic wrap until ready to use. You don't want it to dry out.
- Spread, pour, or drizzle your glaze onto your baked good. Garnish with lemon zest, if you like.
- Let the glaze set before serving, slicing, or storing.
Notes
- This glaze will be bright white in color. If you like you can add a tiny drop of yellow food coloring to indicate the lemon flavor.
- This lemon glaze can be adapted to other citrus fruits like lime, orange, and grapefruit. Use other citrus juices in the same proportion to the lemon juice.
