Powdered Sugar Glaze
This Powdered Sugar Glaze is a smooth, sweet icing made by combining powdered sugar with half and half or whipping cream, a touch of vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter. The glaze achieves a creamy consistency that can be adjusted by varying the cream quantity. It's versatile for drizzling over baked goods like cakes, muffins, or cinnamon buns to add a lightly sweet finishing touch with a subtle buttery note.
