Delish's Egg Wash Experiment: The Perfect Golden Brown

Delish's Egg Wash Experiment: A Delicious Discovery New York, NY – June 11, 2025 – Food blogger delish recently conducted a cooking experiment to determine the best egg wash for baked goods. The experiment, filmed in a modern kitchen, involved testing six different egg washes: whole egg, egg yolk, egg white, egg white with water, heavy cream, and butter. Each wash was applied to a separate biscuit, which were then baked and compared. "I think about egg wash a lot," delish shared in the video. "So I'm testing out which one is actually the best." Delish found that the whole egg produced the best results, offering both color and shine. The egg yolk, on the other hand, was deemed too thick and yellow. The butter and heavy cream washes lacked color. The video concludes that while butter and cream are good for biscuits and scones, the whole egg is the best overall egg wash for most baked goods. This experiment provides practical advice for home bakers, demonstrating the subtle yet significant differences various egg washes can make on the final product.
