Holiday Pastry And Pie Glazes

• 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)

1. GLAZED: beat egg white with water - brush over pastry before baking.
2. SHINY: using a soft brush - brush on just enough cream to cover before baking.
3. SUGARY: Brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar before baking.
4. RICH BROWN: brush top with melted butter before baking.
5. 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.
