Recipe Notes: Glaze Instructions
TO MAKE THE GLAZED TOPPING:
In a medium bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar with milk, adding milk gradually until you reach your desired consistency. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny, similar to a thick syrup. If it becomes too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; if too thin, add a bit more confectioners’ sugar. Pour evenly over the cooled pumpkin bread on your Pioneer Woman platter.
This pumpkin bread is known for its incredibly moist texture. It’s crucial to bake it just right – fully cooked but still wonderfully moist. Ovens can vary, so use the toothpick test to ensure it’s perfectly baked. A toothpick with a few moist crumbs is ideal. If it comes out completely clean, the bread might be slightly drier but still delicious.
Glaze Tip:
- Scoop desired amount of confectioners’ sugar into a bowl.
- Gradually add milk, stirring continuously.
- Aim for a pourable, not runny, glaze consistency.
- Avoid a frosting-like thickness for the glaze.
I absolutely adore how the rich, warm color of the pumpkin bread looks against the backdrop of my Pioneer Woman platter and light blue dishes. Presentation is truly as important as taste! The beaded edge detail and charming vintage motifs of the Pioneer Woman platter bring a cozy, inviting vibe to my kitchen and dining experience.
The vintage charm of The Pioneer Woman collection perfectly complements the fall season, adding a touch of rustic elegance to your home. These pieces help create that warm, inviting kitchen atmosphere we all love, especially during the cooler months.
Up close, the Pioneer Woman dishes are even more beautiful, and they harmonize perfectly with any kitchen décor. I’m so excited to use my new Pioneer Woman platter and dishes for all my fall cooking and baking endeavors!
