Prep Time5 minutes
Course: Dessert
Keyword: dessert
Yield: 12 scones fully covered in glaze

Materials

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 90 ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mix milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
  • Add powered sugar to the milk and mix well until the icing does not have any clumps of sugar in it.
  • You can adjust the consistency as needed. If it's a bit too liquid add a little more powdered sugar (1 tbsp). If it's too thick and hard to spread, add a little bit more milk (1 tsp-1 tbsp).
  • Once you're happy with your scone glaze you can add it to your scones. It's best spooned onto the scone and then use the back of the spoon to spread it overtop of all of your scones.
  • Let the scones dry for 20 - 30 minutes before putting them away. If you store the scones immediately after the moisture cannot escape the container and the glaze will remain wet.
  • Store your fully dried glazed scones in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
