Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup water
- Food coloring (as needed)
Instructions
-
Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture: For every 2 colors desired, prepare one recipe of egg yolk. Separate the egg yolks from the whites and reserve the yolks for this recipe.
-
Mix Egg Yolk and Water: In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk and water. Use a whisk or fork to mix well until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
-
Divide Mixture: Divide the egg yolk and water mixture evenly into 2 custard dishes or paper cups. This will allow you to create 2 different colors of paint.
-
Add Food Coloring: Stir in food coloring to each portion of the egg yolk mixture. Add as much or as little food coloring as desired to achieve the desired hue and intensity. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Store Properly: Keep the custard dishes or paper cups tightly covered until you’re ready to use the paint. This will prevent the paint from drying out or forming a skin on the surface.
-
Adjust Consistency: If the paint thickens while standing, simply add a few drops of water and stir until you reach the desired consistency. This will ensure that your paint is easy to work with and applies smoothly onto your desserts.
