Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    To prepare a creamy delicate glaze, you will need only 4 ingredients: butter, granulated sugar, heavy cream and vanilla sugar. In order for the creamy mass to turn out gently, it is necessary to choose cream with a fat content of at least 20%. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with extract, essence, vanilla pod or vanilla.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Proceed to the preparation of the glaze. The main thing is to observe the ratio of cream and granulated sugar, it should be 1:1. In this case, take 1 cup of 20% cream, pour them into a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour 1 cup of sugar and put the saucepan on fire. Bring the cream to a boil, then reduce the heat and, stirring constantly, cook for 15-20 minutes until thickening. During cooking, a creamy aroma should already appear.

    Step 3.

    When the creamy mass thickens, add 1 teaspoon of butter.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanilla, but then you only need one pinch.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    With quick movements, thoroughly mix the cream glaze so that the butter completely dissolves, and immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. The glaze is ready! The glaze can be used immediately while it is hot, or you can cool it down a little, and then apply it to a pastry or pastry product.From this amount of ingredients, such a jar of glaze is obtained. It is enough for 6 large buns.

There are a huge variety of recipes for making glaze. This is one of my favorites. In addition to the fact that the glaze gives homemade cakes a festive look, it also keeps them fresh longer. Constantly experimenting with the proportions, fat content of cream and flavors, you can achieve different shades and flavors. You can also add dyes, but I prefer this type of glaze in a classic cream color.
The glaze prepared according to this recipe, I sometimes use when baking the famous cinnabon buns. Although a special glaze with cream cheese is prepared for real cinnabons, but this is a completely different story.
