Best Egg Wash Recipes

TIP: NO EGG WASH TIP

Steps:

• Make your pie, I made an apple pie.
• I had just put on the top crust and was thinking well here goes another wasted egg yolk, (Actually, I don't waste it I feed it to the dog), to egg wash the top.
• I like the glazey look and it helps hold sugar if I should decide to sprinkle some on the top crust.
• So, I'm thinking what else can I put on the top -- looking in refer.
• Hey! mayo it has eggs, oil and vinegar. I remember somewhere that someone had suggested putting vinegar in pie crust (another one for the deep dark areas of my brain, I should clean it out might be more interesting tid bits).
• So the rest of the story is I brushed the top crust with mayo, baked the pie the way I normally do.
• It worked out great :) was easier to use, and no left over yolk.
• Yes I will do this again.

EGG WASH

Steps:

• This "eggy" liquid is a mix of whole eggs and water that is used to adhere crumb coatings to food that is to be fried or to glaze baked gods. For 1 cup, mix 2 large eggs with 6 tablespoons cool water, whisking until combined. If using for a savory dish, you can add a sprinkling of salt and pepper.

PASTRY EGG WASH

Steps:

• Wisk egg to almost froth.
• Wisk in Half & Half.
• Stir in Salt to dissolve.
• Set aside for 3 minutes or more. NOTE: Adding salt breaks down the proteins and thins the white. This makes it easier to apply. Waiting a few minutes or more allows the salt time to work its magic.
• Brush on risen Pastry Dough evenly. NOTE: If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a folded paper towel -- just take care to spread the wash evenly with this "tool.".
