Australian WW. 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon hot water. Stir to dissolve. Remove from oven and brush with glaze. I hope this helps.

Fair enough. Ihave used icing sugar, and water, or milk. Make it runny enough to brush on. It's not a clear and glossy glaze; more whitish and shiny, but very nice. You could flavour it with vanilla also. Hope this helps

For savoury rolls, I use egg yolk whipped with a fork and painted on with a pastry brush - or fingers! It bakes to a golden gloss... wonder if it would work with the sweet rolls? Can't see why not...

What a good idea elliehen:-)I use an egg glaze on savouries and bread, so why not on sweet things. I suppose that if a glaze is being used to sweeten baked things slightly, a little sugar or icing sugar could be added to the egg.

This recipe for Raisin and Custrd Snail Buns uses egg wash for glazing. See in recipe ingredients. http://jodelibakery.netfirms.com/bread/snail_buns/snail_buns .htm
