Easter is a beautiful and good holiday. It has one very pleasant tradition of exchanging Easter eggs. Giving a loved one an egg decorated with our own hands, we seem to give him a piece of our soul. There is a simple and very easy way to please your loved ones by making them unusually delicate and beautiful sugar eggs as a gift.
It is necessary
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp. l. water
- food colorings
- protein glaze
- egg-shaped molds
- sugar flowers
- narrow ribbons
- cardboard
- parchment
- For protein glaze:
- 1 protein
- 250 gr icing sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1
Cut a piece of cardboard to the size of the baking sheet or mold you will use to make the eggs. Cover with parchment paper on top. This is so that the hot metal does not melt the sugar.
Step 2
Place the sugar in a large bowl. Add water. At first glance it may seem that the sugar is dry, but it is enough for us that it only sticks together a little. Divide the resulting sugar into several bowls, depending on how many flowers you will be using in the process. Drop a drop of dye into each. Stir.
Step 3
Transfer the sugar to egg-shaped tins and tamp very well so that the eggs will hold their shape later. Cover the sugar mixture while you cook one egg. Packed tightly to the edges of the molds, turn over onto cardboard and bake at 100 degrees for 10 minutes for large molds, and 5 minutes for small ones.
Step 4
Turn the finished eggs over and leave for 2 minutes. Then gently scoop out the middle of the egg with a teaspoon, this sugar can be used again. A shell should remain about 1 cm thick.
Step 5
We leave the eggs overnight to dry completely. In the morning we fasten the halves with glaze, simultaneously inserting a ribbon. After an hour, you can decorate. As a decoration, you can use the glaze tinted with food dyes, squeezing it onto the egg using curly nozzles. You can also decorate with sugar flowers by gluing them onto the icing.
