An '''[[egg wash]]''' is usually beaten [[eggs]] sometimes mixed with another liquid, usually water or [[milk]], which is brushed onto the surface of a [[pastry]] before [[baking]]. An [[egg wash]] is often used to make pastries shiny and golden or brown in colour, and it also is used to help toppings or coatings stick to the surface of the pastry, or to bind pastry parts together, such as [[empanadas]] or other [[en croute]] recipes. [[Egg wash]] can usually be made with two tablespoons of liquid, such as [[milk]] or water, for every egg. Less liquid makes for a darker wash. The part of the egg used and liquid added determines the finished look of the crust.

[[Vegan]] substitutes for [[egg wash]] include [[vegetable oil]], non-dairy milk and butter substitutes, and light [[corn syrup]] thinned with water.
