This easy, clear glaze recipe makes the best mirror glaze for topping a fruit flan, cake, fruit tart, fruit pizza, and other desserts. It is enough for an 8-9-inch (20-23 cm) round fruit tart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch (or corn starch)
  • 2/3 cup + 3 tablespoons (200 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Place potato starch in a small cup and add 1/4 cup (60 ml) water; stir with a teaspoon until the starch is dissolved. Pour 1/2 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons (140 ml) of water with sugar into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the starch mixture and bring it to a boil while constantly stirring with a hand whisk or a spoon.

  2. Once boiled, remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool a bit. Stir every 3-5 minutes to prevent a film from forming on the surface of the glaze. With a silicone brush, gently apply the glaze on top of the fruit to keep the made pattern. Refrigerate the pastry for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  1. Use a natural bristle pastry brush to apply the glaze if desired.
  2. You can also toss the fruit in a bowl with glaze to coat it before placing it on the pastry or simply drizzle some glaze over your bake.
  3. Optional: Increase the amount of starch from 1 tablespoon to 1 1/2 or even two tablespoons to adjust the thickness of your glaze. Or add a pinch of ground cinnamon for a nice, subtle flavor.
