Servings: 1 batch
Calories: 1492kcal
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to a low boil, stirring continuously and cook until the brown sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, Let cool for a few minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar slowly, whisking after each addition, adding until you have reached the desired consistency for the glaze.
- For a cake topping, it should be a thicker glaze that you spread on top. For drizzling over scones and muffins you need a slightly thinner glaze.
- Use immediately as the icing will set within minutes.
Notes
- If you need to thin the glaze ( eg. you added too much powdered sugar) simply add more cream at the end, teaspoon by teaspoon, until you reach the desired consistency.
