White Confectioners Sugar Icing Food

FOODCHANNEL EDITOR

Steps:

• 1 In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the butter and water until the butter melts. Remove from the heat and let stand until cool, about 5 minutes. 2 Add the sugar to the butter mixture and whisk vigorously until smooth and thickened, about 1 minute. Use the icing within 5 minutes or it may become too thick to drizzle. If the icing does become too thick, rewarm it for 2 or 3 seconds over low heat, whisking constantly. Makes a scant 1/2 cup.

WHITE CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR ICING

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until well combined. Add salt, vanilla, and milk, and beat until frosting is smooth and creamy. If icing seems too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before frosting cake. Return to mixer until creamy if necessary.

WHITE GLAZE ICING FOR PASTRIES, CINNAMON ROLLS, AND DANISHES

Steps:

• Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together.
• Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze.
• Spread or pour immediately over cooled cinnamon rolls, pastries, pound cakes, or Danish.
• Glaze will form a crust and harden as it cools, but you can spread over warmed cakes and serve that way as well.
