Holiday Pastry And Pie Glazes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
