Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups of powdered sugar
¼ cup of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice until creamy.
Pour it onto a baked good and allow it to set for 5 minutes.

Notes

To adjust the consistency: To make a thicker lemon glaze, add more sugar (or cornstarch to avoid adding more sugar). For a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice or plant-based milk, a few drops at a time.

For a smooth, lump-free glaze: Sift the sugar to remove larger lumps. If the glaze still seems slightly grainy/gritty, microwave it gently in 10-second increments, stirring well until smooth and lump-free.

If you aren’t using it immediately: Either cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container to keep it from drying or developing surface skin.
