Holiday Pastry and Pie Glazes image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 1 pie, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 beaten egg white (can use just the yolk)
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon cream (may use milk, use enough to brush and cover before baking)
1 tablespoon milk (brush on just enough to cover before baking)
1 tablespoon sugar (sprinkle enough to lightly cover)
1 tablespoon melted butter (brush on just enough to cover before baking)

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.
