Basic Vanilla Glaze
This is one of those recipes that it's pretty hard to do anything "healthy" with it. If the recipe calls for a glaze, warmed honey will work. However, sometimes only glaze will do.
Basic Vanilla Glaze
For things like cinnamon rolls, scones, etc.
The most common way to make a glaze is sift powdered sugar and add the liquid to it. Unfortunately, (or is it?), I don't have a sifter. I decided the food processor blade would fluff up my sugar and blend it all well without any lumps. It worked!
Place into the bowl of a food processor:
1 cup powdered sugar (organic if possible)
Pour through the chute while the processor is running:
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I make my own. Recipe here.)
Once the mixture is well blended, just a few seconds, the glaze is ready to use.
Here it is on a Whole Wheat Blueberry Sour Cream Scone:
Enjoy!
