Ingredients
Scale
2 cups powdered sugar
4 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 powdered sugar mixture into the beaten egg white using a spatula. Fold until just combined and the mixture is light and airy. Do not overmix.
Use immediately to top cooled muffins. The glaze will set slightly as it dries.
Notes
For a slightly firmer glaze, add a few extra drops of orange juice slowly until the desired consistency is reached.
Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely clean when whipping the egg white for maximum volume.
This glaze is best applied within one hour of making it for the fluffiest texture.
