Ingredients
- 24 pieces Edible flowers (pansies, violets, roses, etc.)
- 1 large Egg white
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the flowers you are using are edible and pesticide-free. Gently rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any excess stems or inedible parts.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with 1 teaspoon of water until frothy. This will help thin the egg white for easier application.
Step 3
Using a small food-safe brush, lightly coat each flower petal (both sides) with the egg white mixture. Be sure to cover the entire surface area for the sugar to adhere properly.
Step 4
Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over both sides of the coated flower. Shake off any excess sugar gently.
Step 5
Place the sugared flowers on a wire rack lined with parchment paper to dry. Ensure the flowers do not touch one another to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Allow the flowers to dry completely at room temperature. This process can take 12-24 hours depending on the humidity.
Step 7
Once the flowers are completely dry and crisp, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Use them to decorate desserts or enjoy as a sweet snack!
