Low-Carb Pastry Pizzazz
 by: Jan Nicholas

This delicious treat adds only 1.9 grams of carb for a Superb Roll of any size. Just add a glaze to the rolls once they are baked. While the rolls are baking, make ½ or ¼ of the below mentioned glaze. Apply the glaze thinly with a pastry brush to the tops of the hot rolls. It will set within minutes. The rolls will freeze well, even with the glaze. Thaw at room temperature or follow directions for heating in the oven.

SERVING SIZE ,icing for 1 cookie. Carbs per serving 0.5 gram of carb.

Number of servings: 280

Ingredients:

• 1 egg white (or 3 Tablesps sterilized egg white)

Put the egg white and powdered sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer and beat on high speed until the sugar is absorbed and the mixture thickens a bit: scrape sides of bowl as needed.

• ¾ cup cold water plus 2 Tablesps (very important)
• 6 Tablesps butter (¾ stick)
