Vanilla Glaze

Vanilla glaze is a great all-around glaze for topping many different cakes and rolls. My favorite thing to use this on is cinnamon rolls. I like to just drizzle the sticky goodness over the top, both for the added sweet flavor and it makes it look so pretty too.

vanilla, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, corn syrup and powdered sugar on a granite counter top with cinnamon rolls in the background — Glaze ingredients

Ingredients:

3 cups powdered sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

Begin by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix together at a medium speed for about 2 minutes. (Until all the clumps are dissolved.) If you find yours has too strong of a powdered sugar flavor you can add a few grains of salt and it will adjust the flavor.

Then you can either use a spoon/knife to apply the glaze to your baked goods or you can use a small bag like I do. I use a small wide-mouth jar to hold the bag open and pour in my glaze. Then I remove all the air and seal the bag.

Using a pair of sharp kitchen shears I nip the corner off the bag. Being careful not to burst open the back I squeeze the glaze out the hole I created and onto my cinnamon rolls.
