Ingredients
  • 1 egg white .
  • 30-40 whole violets or clean small whole fresh edible flowers or rose petals .
  • caster sugar

Directions
  • Step #1 PLEASE NOTE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
  • Step #2 Crystallised flowers are for decoration only, & should not be eaten.
  • Step #3 Research the flower, herb or plant you want to use.
  • Step #4 Check for any type of toxicity, & possible allergic or other reactions through contact with other foods, implements, skin or inhaling.
  • Step #5 Your guests may have allergies or medical conditions too.
  • Step #6 Just some of the toxic flowers include foxglove, oleander, daffodil, delphinium & hyacinth.
  • Step #7 This list is not comprehensive.
  • Step #8 Organically grown flowers are best, as commercially grown flowers may have pesticide or other chemical residue.
  • Step #9 Even if something is not meant to be eaten, it is not advised to use non-edible or potentially harmful plants in presentations.
  • Step #10 Choose flowers according to season, occasion, availability, colour scheme or theme.
  • Step #11 Place the clean dry flowers on a breadboard, baking tray or flat surface.
  • Step #12 Beat the egg white to a light foam.
  • Step #13 Brush the flowers all over with beaten egg white, using a soft pastry brush.
  • Step #14 Sprinkle top flowers all over with the caster sugar as soon as possible.
  • Step #15 The sugar needs to stick to the egg white before it dries.
  • Step #16 Leave for approx one hr or more until fully set.
  • Step #17 You can also sit the finished flowers on a baking tray lined with ovenproof paper in a warm oven (switched off).
  • Step #18 Once they have dried, they will be hard & brittle; store them carefully in an airtight tin for up to 2 months.
  • Step #19 TIPS:.
  • Step #20 Leave the stalks on small flowers such as violets, it helps you to pick them up & paint the egg white on them.
  • Step #21 Experiment with a few flowers to be sure you have it right, before doing a full batch for a special occasion.
  • Step #22 Use a flour sifter to help coat the flowers with sugar evenly.
  • Step #23 A tea infuser or tea ball can be filled with caster sugar & used in the same way as a sifter, as long as the mesh is the right size.
  • Step #24 Toothpicks may help to manoeuvre flowers once they are coated, without touching them with your hands, & undoing all your good work.
