Egg Wash

An egg wash will make pastry shine and help with browning. It will also help bind crusts with cracks and seal the edges of pie crusts. Egg wash also helps keep the bottom crust from getting soggy when the pie filling is added.

Simply beat a couple of eggs mixed with just a little bit of liquid such as milk or water. Brush a very light coat of the egg wash onto the surface of the dough with a pastry brush.
