Egg wash gives fruit pies and savory pies a deep golden hue and pretty sheen. It also equalizes the color tone between the crimped edges of a double-crust pie and the crust that tops the filling.
Ingredients
1 2 tablespoons
Method
In a small bowl, beat the egg and sugar with a whisk until smooth. Before baking, brush the surface of the pie(s) with the egg mixture, avoiding the crimped edges and taking care not to allow the egg wash to pool in any recessed areas. Discard any excess egg wash. Bake immediately.
