Here’s a quick and simple recipe for a lemon glaze—perfect for drizzling over cakes, muffins, scones, or cookies.
🍋 Lemon Glaze
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (adjust for consistency)
- Optional: ½ tsp lemon zest for extra flavor
Instructions
- Mix ingredients:
- In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Stir until smooth.
- Adjust consistency:
- Add more lemon juice, ½ tsp at a time, until you reach your desired drizzle consistency (thicker for spreading, thinner for drizzling).
- Add zest (optional):
- Stir in lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor.
- Use immediately:
- Drizzle over cooled baked goods. The glaze will set in 10–15 minutes.
💡 Tips
- For extra shine: Add ½ tsp light corn syrup to make the glaze glossy.
- Storage: Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week; stir before using.
- Flavor variations: Replace half the lemon juice with orange juice for a citrus twist.
If you want, I can give a frosting-style lemon glaze that’s thicker and perfect for dipping or spreading on bundt cakes and pound cakes. Do you want that version?
