Description
Crystallised flowers are very easy to make and will preserve your precious flowers for a little longer! The key is to take your time brushing the egg white on with a small brush rather than dipping, which will weigh the petals down and create lumps. Use them to garnish cakes or other desserts.
- 1 punnet dianthus flowers
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- Caster sugar
- Use a small (unused!) paintbrush to coat the flowers in egg white.
- Sprinkle with sugar and shake off the excess.
- Place on a sheet of baking paper and allow to dry for 24 hours until fully hard.
