How to make a shiny glossy glaze | Neutral mirror glaze | Pastry 101

★Online Classes★
For more online classes please visit: hanbitcho.com/course/
Have you wondered how pastry products can look so shiny? It’s actually really simple - it’s basically glaze applied on top. You can buy the glaze from the store but you can also make it. Here’s a recipe for a home-made shiny mirror glaze.
When purchasing store-bought stuff, the search keywords would be "mirror glaze, neutral glaze, nappage".
▶Neutral Mirror Glaze◀
*Unfortunately you can’t replace corn syrup/glucose with another ingredient for this recipe.
Water 50g
Sugar 100g
Corn syrup/Glucose 150g
Gelatin 8g (gold strength 200 bloom. if using powdered gelatin, use same weight for same strength)
Lemon Juice 15g
① Bloom gelatin in ice cold water.
② Add water, sugar and corn syrup into a saucepan and boil it up to 105℃.
③ Add the bloomed gelatin (squeezed) and lemon juice.
④ Use around 28~40℃
How to store: You can store in the fridge for up to 3~4 days.

Thank you Chef for this very detailed but straight to the point video, I really appreciate that you put in the exact bloom strength in your description!! That's something that is omitted in most recipes and ended up with a lot of guess work and could potentially ruin the end product. Looking forward to your next video! 😀

Hello Hanbit, How’re you doing?
I want to make your Neutral Mirror Glaze today.
I have got the powder gelatin. I understand that 8 grams of gelatin is required even if using the powder.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How much water should the gelatin powder be soaked in?
2. Does the water have to be ice cold or refrigerated water is good?
Thanks in advance. Big hugs 🤗 ❤
