Ingredients
- 24 pieces Edible rose petals
- 1 large Egg white
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Carefully rinse the edible rose petals with cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel, ensuring they are completely dry to help the egg white adhere.
Step 2
Separate one large egg, reserving the egg white. Lightly whisk the egg white in a small bowl until it becomes slightly frothy.
Step 3
Place the granulated sugar in a separate shallow bowl or plate for easy dipping.
Step 4
Using a small, clean food-safe paintbrush, gently coat both sides of each rose petal with a thin layer of egg white. Be sure to cover the entire surface without soaking the petal.
Step 5
Immediately sprinkle granulated sugar over both sides of the egg white-coated petal. Shake off any excess sugar.
Step 6
Place the sugared petals on a wire rack or a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they do not overlap to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Allow the candied rose petals to air dry completely at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours, or until they become crisp and brittle.
Step 8
Once dried, store the candied rose petals in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Use them to decorate cakes, cupcakes, or enjoy as a dainty treat on their own!
