Ecodecor of Easter eggs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the ingredients. Take eggs of any category, but white is better.Also, to prepare the paste, prepare water and potato starch. As a decoration, you can use cereals (corn, hercules, buckwheat), seasonings and spices (sesame, rosemary, dried herbs, bay leaf, paprika), small flower buds and so on. In general, it all depends on your imagination and the presence of certain cereals and spices at home.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance. Wash the eggs under water to get rid of dirt particles that could remain on the shell, and let them lie at room temperature for a while.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the eggs in a saucepan, cover with warm water. Approximately the same temperature of water and eggs will avoid a sharp temperature drop and will not lead to the formation of cracks in the shell. Put the pan with the eggs on the fire. After boiling, cook the eggs over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Transfer the hard-boiled eggs to a container with cold water. This is done in order to make it easier to peel the shell later.

4. Step 4:

   

   Proceed to cooking the paste, on which the entire eco-decor will be glued. Pour 50 ml of cold water into a bowl and add potato starch, stir. Pour the remaining 100 ml of water into a ladle and bring the water to a boil. Stirring the water with a whisk, enter the starch solution in a thin stream. Continue to cook the paste for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the mass becomes thick enough. Then remove the ladle from the heat and let the paste cool.

6. Step 5:

   

   Remove the cooled eggs from the water and wipe them dry. With the help of a regular brush, apply the paste to the part of the egg that you plan to cover with grits or spices.

7. Step 6:

   

   With the smeared part, slightly pressing, lower the egg into the eco-decor, and then put the egg on the dish with the decorated part of the top so that the decor dries and grabs. Do the same with steel eggs.

8. Step 7:

   

   Go back to the first egg. If the decor has already seized, smear the next part of the egg with paste and lower it into another cereal or spice. In this way, smear and decorate all parts of the eggs.

9. Step 8:

   

   Some amount of ecodecor will crumble when drying, but there's nothing wrong with that. If desired, on top of this decor, you can glue bay leaves, flower buds, various twigs of herbs and so on to paste.
