Recipe

• 1 glazed: beat egg with water - brush over pastry before baking.
• 2 shiny: using a soft brush - brush on just enough cream to cover before baking.
• 3 sugary: brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar before baking.
• 4 rich brown: brush top with melted butter before baking.
• 5 and yes my favorite - lightly flick water over crust with fingertips, carefully tip to spread the water - sprinkle with sugar before baking. all so simple yet make for that added touch. baking time for the pies - go with the suggested baking time your recipe calls for.
