Vanilla Scone Glaze
Materials
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 90 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 vanilla bean scraped optional
Instructions
- Cut the vanilla bean in half with a sharp knife. Use 1/2 of the vanilla bean pod and scrape all the seeds into a bowl.
- Place the skin of the 1/2 vanilla bean pod into the bowl as well. Add milk and gently with your fingers run it down the vanilla bean. The flavor of the vanilla bean will infuse the milk with a strong aromatic flavor.
- Remove the pod from the milk. Add vanilla extract and milk together. The beans should be well mixed in the milk by now.
- Slowly add powdered sugar until it's completely mixed in. If the consistency of the vanilla scone glaze too thick, add a small amount of milk ~1-2 tsps to thin it out. If the vanilla scone glaze is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
- Use a spoon to place the vanilla scone glaze on top of your scones. Store any excess icing in an airtight container in the fridge for about ~3 days.
