Note

For a thinner glaze suitable for dipping, add slightly more milk. For a thicker icing that holds its shape, use less milk or add a bit more sugar.

You can substitute milk with lemon juice, orange juice, or vanilla extract for added flavor.

Use immediately after making, as the icing will begin to set and thicken as it sits.

Ensure the pastry is warm but not hot to allow the icing to set properly without melting into the dough.
