how to make icing with powdered sugar

To make icing with powdered sugar, combine powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or water and vanilla extract. Stir the powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl, then gradually add 3 to 4 tablespoons of milk (or water) until you reach your desired consistency. This icing can be drizzled over baked goods and it will harden in about 20 to 30 minutes.

Here is a simple recipe for powdered sugar icing:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or water

Instructions:

1. Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
2. Slowly add milk or water until the icing is smooth and at the consistency you like.
3. Drizzle or spread over cooled baked goods.
4. Let it set and harden for 20-30 minutes.

Variations include using lemon, lime, or orange juice instead of milk for a citrus flavor, or adding almond extract instead of vanilla.

This icing is quick, easy, and versatile for cakes, cookies, muffins, and more.
