SKILL LEVEL: Apprentice
PREP: 5 minutes
MAKES: About 1 cup
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Dash of vanilla
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Combine the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla, then gradually add the milk, stirring vigorously to eliminate any lumps. Aim for a thick, smooth consistency that you can still drizzle.
For the Rylak Claws:
Add 1 tablespoon honey and reduce milk to 1 to 2 tablespoons.
For the Sugar-Dusted Choux Twists:
Leave out the vanilla. Add 2 teaspoons runny honey—warm up if necessary.
For the Conjured Mana Strudel:
Replace the milk with heavy cream, which will give the icing more body.
