How to make Glaze with butter and milk sugar?

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

- 1/4 cup milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Cream the Butter:

- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Sugar:

- Gradually add the confectioners' sugar to the creamed butter, one-third at a time, while beating on low speed. Beat until well combined and no lumps remain.

3. Add Milk and Vanilla:

- Add the milk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until the glaze is smooth, creamy, and well combined.

4. Adjust Consistency:

- If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Aim for a consistency that is thick enough to coat a spoon yet still pourable.

5. Use the Glaze:

- Use the glaze immediately to drizzle over cakes, cookies, muffins, pastries, or any other dessert. The glaze will set as it cools, creating a glossy finish.

6. Store the Glaze:

- If you have leftover glaze, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using it again, let it come to room temperature and whisk until smooth.

Tips:

- To make a chocolate glaze, add 2 tablespoons of melted semisweet chocolate to the glaze mixture.

- For a flavored glaze, add a teaspoon of your favorite flavor extract, such as almond, orange, or lemon.

- You can also add a few drops of food coloring to create a colored glaze.
