Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  • Using a whisk, mix the ingredients together until completely smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps of powdered sugar remain.
  • If the glaze appears too thick for your needs, gradually add the remaining lemon juice one teaspoon at a time, whisking between additions until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over completely cooled baked goods. Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving for best results.
