Crystallised spring flowers
1 egg white, beaten lightly
Caster sugar
Edible flowers – primroses, violets or garden pansies
First gather your flowers when they are dry. Using an artist brush carefully paint the petals/flowers both front and back with a little egg white.
Lightly cover both sides with caster sugar. Lay the petals/flowers on a sheet of greaseproof paper and leave to dry for 2-3 hours until hard and crisp. (They will only last for about two days).
