How to Make Lemon Glaze Frosting:

The glaze on top is one of my all time favorites for breads and cookies.  It’s a simple vanilla glaze made with powered sugar, lemon juice and a splash of milk.   It pours onto the bread beautifully and gives it such a gorgeous look.  I use this glaze all the time, including on my favorite Christmas Cookies.
