Ingredients
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup of butter, softened and slightly melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Use a mixer with a whisk attachment (or a whisk, large bowl and your muscles!), to blend the powered sugar and butter together.
- Mix until combined and then add your vanilla and cinnamon until fragrant.
- Using a spoon (or shot glass like I did!), slowly pour the milk into the mixture until smooth an spreadable.
- Best Part: Taste test to make sure you have enough vanilla and cinnamon. And, to make sure you added the right amount of milk to make a smooth icing.
- Tip: If you added too much milk, just add a little bit more powered sugar. Your end product should have a peak (see photo).
