5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Place powdered sugar in a bowl and whisk in 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add vanilla extract, then gradually add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. The glaze should be thin enough to drizzle over the buns, but not so thin that it resembles water. Generously drizzle the buns with the glaze and serve.
