HOLIDAY PASTRY AND PIE GLAZES
Pastry and pie glazes add a special touch especially for special occasions and holiday baking. You can choose between shiny, glazed, sugary or rich brown depending on the glaze you choose to brush on. I keep this list close at hand allowing me to choose just the one I want without having to do a search each time I bake. My favorite is to lightly flick water on crust with fingertips - carefully tip to spread - (or spray pastry very lightly with the water) lightly sprinkle with sugar before baking. Makes for one terrific looking pie! In entering one has to enter amounts - remember you need to use enough to cover the top of your crust - smaller pies will take less - larger may need more.

Steps:
- GLAZED: beat egg white with water - brush over pastry before baking.
- SHINY: using a soft brush - brush on just enough cream to cover before baking.
- SUGARY: Brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar before baking.
- RICH BROWN: brush top with melted butter before baking.
- And yes my favorite - lightly flick water over crust with fingertips, carefully tip to spread the water - sprinkle with sugar before baking. All so simple yet make for that added touch. Baking time for the pies - go with the suggested baking time your recipe calls for.
