Drizzling a lemon glaze over a dessert is an easy way to dress it up, adding a bit of freshness, interest, and extra flavor. This easy lemon glaze recipe is made with only three ingredients: confectioners' sugar, milk, and fresh lemon juice or lemon extract. BTW, next time, I would just add the lemon flavor to Thomas Joseph's recipe for "Best Pound Cake" to get myself a Glazed Lemon Pound Cake. But do thank Sarah for the good and thorough instructions in the video. For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth.
