Crystallised Dianthus Flowers

Drogo

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.
