Ingredients

  • 1 cup (113 g) confectioners sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional

Instructions

  • Make icing. In a small mixing bowl, combine icing ingredients. 1 cup (113 g) confectioners sugar 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Adjust consistency if needed. If the icing is too thick, add a little more lemon juice. If the icing is too thin, add additional powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Make ahead/Storage: This icing can keep covered at room temperate for several days but will need to be stirred again as it will crust over. You may also find you need to adjust the consistency again as well. I haven't tried freezing just the icing, but baked goods frozen with the icing thaw just fine. 
  • Vanilla extract: You can add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla if you choose.
