This lemon icing makes everything it touches taste a little brighter. Made with real lemon zest and juice, it's thick enough to hold its shape, thin enough to pour, and ready in just a few minutes. It's the perfect finishing touch for lemon loaf, muffins, scones, or any baked good that could use a little extra brightness.
Total Time:5 minutes
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 medium lemon)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1¾ cups powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until combined.
Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Pour the icing over your baked good for a creamy coating. If the icing sits and starts to firm up, pop it in the microwave for 5 seconds to bring it back to that smooth, pourable texture.
