Description
A recipe for a light, airy orange glaze that provides a fluffy topping for muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Place the egg white in a clean, grease-free bowl. Beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
- Gently fold the sugar mixture into the beaten egg white in three additions. Fold just until combined to keep the mixture airy. Do not overmix.
- If the glaze is too thick, add a few drops more orange juice. If it is too thin, add a tablespoon more powdered sugar.
- Spread or pipe the fluffy glaze onto cooled muffins immediately.
Notes
- For the fluffiest texture, ensure your egg white is at room temperature before whipping.
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.
- This glaze sets quickly, so work fast after mixing.
