¼ cup egg whites, beaten

½ cup superfine sugar

2 cups assorted edible flowers

Directions

Clean and dry your flowers or petals. Use a brush to paint a thin layer of egg white onto each side of the flower petals or blossoms. Gently place them into a shallow bowl of superfine sugar and sprinkle sugar over them to coat. Remove from the bowl, and place them on a piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle some more of the sugar over them. Allow them to dry until stiff, about 8 hours. Store at room temperature in an airtight container until using.

A few examples of edible flowers include: carnation (peppery flavor), daylily, dianthus (clove-like flavor), hibiscus, hollyhock, lavender, orange blossom, rose petals, pansies, violets.
