Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
3 Tbsp Salted butter, melted
1/3 cup Milk or heavy cream
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

Combine: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk (or cream), vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk: Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Apply: Spread or pour the glaze generously over your cinnamon rolls or sweet breads while they are still warm. This allows some of the glaze to soak into the bread for extra moisture.

Notes

Pro Tips -

Consistency Control: If you prefer a thinner glaze for drizzling, add an extra teaspoon of milk. For a thicker, frosting-like consistency, add a little more powdered sugar.
Warm is Best: Always apply this glaze to breads while they are still warm from the oven to help it "set" with a professional, glossy finish.
Salt Matters: Don't skip the 1/4 tsp of salt! It cuts through the sugar and brings out the richness of the butter.
