 Crystallized
Edible Flowers
Some
wonderful edible flowers include roses, day lilies, dandelions,
marigolds, pansies, nasturtiums, and the flowers of many herbs.
Organic flowers are best – be sure not to use flowers that are
sprayed with pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. They are best
if they come from your garden! The perfect edible décor for
pastries and cakes, this recipe for crystallized flowers is
featured in ‘Home Made Cooking – Good ‘Nuff For Sharing’, a
recipe book published by the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum
in Vista, CA.
1 egg white,
at room temperature
¼ cup sugar
Any edible flower petal, or small flowers with few petals such
as the pansy, daisy, viola, violet, chamomile.
Beat egg white lightly to liquefy in small bowl.
Rinse flower petals or blossoms and dry thoroughly.
With a small brush, paint both sides of each petal with egg
white, being sure to cover petals completely. Use a wood tooth
pick to separate leaves of multi-petal flowers.
Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place on rack or baking sheet and
let dry in a cool, dry place until sugar has hardened.
Store in an airtight container and use throughout the year. Use
on pastries and cakes.

Our Mission:
Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community." |
