- Simmer for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. It might sputter a bit, which is fine!1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whisk in the powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth, then let sit for 5-10 minutes before drizzling over your baked goods. If you let it sit too long, it'll be too firm and won't be pourable.½ cup powdered sugar
Notes
Salt: If you don't have kosher salt, halve the amount of salt called for in the recipe. 1 teaspoon kosher salt = ½ teaspoon fine salt. Please note, I am using Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt and not Morton Salt. Morton salt is far too salty for this!
Serving Size: This makes enough glaze to generously glaze a bundt cake or loaf cake. If you only need a small amount of glaze, you can halve the ingredients.
