Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Lemon glaze

Two spoonfuls are all it takes to give a cake shine and tang.

Rico's note: Use this glaze when the cake is done and all it needs is a finishing touch before you head out.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar (40 g / 1½ oz) — no added sugar: ½ cup powdered (confectioners') erythritol (60 g)
  • 1–2 tbsp lemon juice, or coconut milk (22 g / ¾ oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Put the powdered sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add the lemon juice one teaspoon at a time, stirring well.
