Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk or Electric Hand Mixer
  • Measurement cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Water

Instructions

  • Add the egg and one tablespoon of water to a small mixing bowl.
  • Whisk vigorously until well incorporated and thin enough to spread smoothly onto baked goods.
  • Add a little more water to thin it out until it becomes thin enough to apply with a pastry brush onto baked goods before baking them. (Note: This step is optional. Perform if the consistency of the mixture is not thin enough)

Notes

Ensure the egg wash has a fluid consistency before applying it to the baked dish. The finished product may seem blotchy if yolk clumps are not completely blended with the white.
