BOILED BUTTERMILK GLAZE
I come from a family of frosting haters. So, any glaze or frosting that I use has to be mighty special. It can't be "too sweet" or "too thick"...like Goldilocks, it has to be "just right." This delightful recipe makes a non-too-sweet topping, thicker than a glaze and thinner than a cream cheese frosting. I use it on cakes that require only a tiny amount of additional sweetness to make them perfect. The colour of this glaze turns a caramel colour when cooked, so take that into consideration if using on a white cake. It's good on it's own but when either orange or lemon zest is added, it's even better.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients except extracts or zest into a large sauce pan; this boils up to a high level!
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes, remove from heat and let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Add extract or zests, stir and allow to come to room temperature.
- It gets slightly thicker, like honey, so when it is cool, it stays put on your cake surface. Pour over cake.
