Categories     Citrus

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk (orange juice works so great too)

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.

Glaze will form a crust and harden as it cools, but you can spread over warmed cakes and serve that way as well.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking to prevent the butter from melting and making the pastries tough.
  • Brush the pastries with egg wash before baking to give them a golden brown color and a shiny glaze.
  • Sprinkle the pastries with cinnamon sugar before baking for a classic flavor combination.
  • For a fun twist, try filling the pastries with cream cheese, fruit preserves, or chocolate chips.
