Ingredients

5 Tablespoons vegan butter use stick butter, not tub
⅓ cup plant milk
1 Tablespoon corn starch
16 ounces powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch salt

Instructions

Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan on medium heat, watching and stirring occasionally so that it melts evenly. It will start to brown slightly. Allow that to happen but watch carefully.so that it doesn't burn.
While the vegan butter is melting, whisk together the plant milk and cornstarch, removing any lumps.
Turn down the heat to low. Add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the melted vegan butter and stir together.
Stir in the powdered sugar until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla and the pinch of salt.
This buttery glaze will be warm and runny. Use right away. It will harden as it cools.

Notes

This glazed icing will begin to harden as it cools so work quickly while it's still hot. Pour onto baked goods or dip individual pieces.

If you are dipping individual pieces it will begin to harden before you are finished. It helps to place your pan over a hot bowl or pan of water - similar to a double boiler. You can also microwave for about 15 seconds to reheat. If you do that too many times though, it will be too thick and a little grainy.

Since the glaze should be hot when working with it, do not allow children to "help" with this part. They can be standing by to quickly sprinkle decorations.
