Glaze for kulich without egg whites
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The glaze is very easy to make, but it stays liquid for only 3–5 minutes, then it sets. If the glaze sets too early, place the bowl with the glaze in a water bath and stir. While the glaze is warm, it remains fluid. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
