Beaten egg

[FabulousBakerGirl]

I have made Festive fruit snails and before cooking it says to brush with beaten egg. Is it just for colouring?

Are they a sort of pastry thing? Beaten egg gives them that sort of shiny glaze on the top.

It is bread dough, spread with mince meat, then rolled up into a snail shape.

So not really necessary then?

Thank you.

No, not necessary, just makes them look nicer, will prob prevent them from cracking too.

Have put the first tray in so I will see what they come out like without the egg glaze. Thank you.
