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.

Ingredients

  • 1 punnet dianthus flowers
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • Caster sugar

Directions

  1. Step 1, Use a small (unused!) paintbrush to coat the flowers in egg white.
  2. Step 2, Sprinkle with sugar and shake off the excess.
  3. Step 3, Place on a sheet of baking paper and allow to dry for 24 hours until fully hard.
