Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon water (or milk or cream)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until thoroughly combined. Using a pastry brush, brush on top of your pastries before baking.

Notes

  • You can store it for a few days in the refrigerator. Place the leftover egg wash in an airtight container, and it could last for 3 to 5 days. If the egg wash contains milk, discard it after 3 days. But if it just has water, you can store it for five days.
