Chez Panisse Sugared Rose Petals

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk egg white with salt and a pinch of sugar until frothy and well blended. Put remaining sugar in a second bowl.

2. 2

   Using a small pastry brush with fine bristles, brush a rose petal all over with a thin, sheer coat of egg white. Working over bowl, sprinkle petal all over with sugar and shake off excess. Set on a fine-mesh cooling rack and repeat with more petals. Every so often, rub your hands together (not over bowl) to remove clumped sugar on them.

3. 3

   Let petals stand uncovered at room temperature until crisp and completely dry, 1 to 2 days.
