Ingredients
1-2 egg whites
Organic or un-sprayed Rose Petals (pink/red are prettiest but can be any colour)
soft watercolour paintbrush
very fine granulated sugar (castor sugar)
Method
Gently pluck rose petals, it is best to use slightly closed buds...
Place egg white in a bowl...
gently whisk...
Paint petal gently with egg white, do not paint thickly, try to keep it delicate but completely coat the petal both sides...
Cover petal with sugar both sides. I place the petal on the sugar then sprinkle a handful from above over the petal
turn the petal and repeat to the other side so petal completely coated with sugar...
Place petals gently and carefully onto parchment/cooking paper. Make sure they "sit" on the paper lightly, if they are too wet (egg white too thick) they will flatten and ultimately stick to the paper...
Place paper gently onto a wire rack to dry or alternatively what I did was to place them in an oven on a very low temperature 50 degrees celsius for 20 minutes. I then opened the door and allowed them to dry naturally for the remainder of the night....
completed rose petals. Keep dry in an airtight container, do not store in fridge. They should keep a few weeks.
