Egg Yolk Paints (Egg Tempura)

Carefully crack open an egg. Separate the yolk from the white. Mix 2 mL (1/2 tsp) water with the yolk. Pour a little of the yolk mixture into several small cups. Add food colouring, using a different colour for each cup. Use a brush to paint your egg. If the paint gets too thick, add a few drops of water. Note: Egg yolk paints can be used to paint designs on sugar cookies before they are put in the oven, or to paint faces or designs on bread before making sandwich or toast. Pop bread into toaster to dry the paint.
