There is a situation like this: you are determined to make baked goods with a shiny crust, but suddenly you discover that you don’t have any eggs.
There is no need to get upset, put off what you had planned and run to the store.
Experienced housewives have long been practicing methods that allow them to do without eggs. Other products are excellent substitutes for them.
The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef Yulia Arkhipova , spoke about these alternatives.
According to her, instead of an egg, you can brush the pastry with milk, which will give the dish a golden hue.
It helps form an attractive crust and adds a bit of softness.
Butter will not only provide this crust with an appetizing appearance, but will also make it more tender.
Experts recommend greasing the baked goods with butter about ten minutes before the end of the baking process – and then the result will be perfect.
As for shine for baked goods prepared with milk or butter, you need to add it.
The thing is that the crust will be beautiful, but matte.
If you want a glossy effect, you can use sweet water.
You need to grease the hot buns with this water. And you don’t have to do anything else – they will shine as if they were greased with egg.
