  • Use leftover egg wash in tomorrow mornings scrambled eggs, scramble up for your dogs food as a treat.

  • If you do not have a pastry brush or natural bristles brush, use the back of a spoon. It's more cumbersome, but it works.
  • Whisk the egg and water very well so that it brushes on smoothly.
  • Add a pinch of salt or sugar to give it a touch of flavor.
  • Use an egg wash to help raw sugar adhere better to your baked goods like a sort of glue.
