Vanilla Sugar Pansies
Ingredients
  • 2 well beaten egg whites
  • vanilla extract
  • 1 medium small bowl of granulated sugar
  • 1 paint brush
  • Instructions
Steps
  1. Rinse blossoms in cool water and gentle pat dry with facial tissues.
  2. Line a wire rack with parchment paper or wax paper and place on a baking sheet. (The wire rack is not crucial, it just speeds up the drying process.) Place sugar in a shallow bowl.
  3. Beat egg whites until frothy; mix a few drops of vanilla into the egg whites.
  4. Dip a clean paint brush in the egg whites and coat the petals evenly, trying not to saturate the petals.
  5. Hold flower petals over sugar. Using a spoon gently sprinkle sugar on both sides of the flower covering the entire surface. Then place flowers face up on the parchment paper or wax paper to dry.
  6. Dry in a warm place at least 24 hours before storing. Don't try to sugar-coat in humid weather. It will not work.
  7. When sugar coated blossoms dry, cut off stems.
  8. Use to decorate cakes, cookies or anything else you like. Extras may be kept in air tight containers layered between parchment paper or wax paper.
