    Yes, milk will work, I'd use that anyway rather than an egg.

    Milk or olive oil, would only use an egg if I was using the egg for something else too as you would not need it all!

    Encouragement always works better than judgement.

  • I always use milk, can't justify wasting a whole egg just for a few brushes worth!

    Milk, olive oil. And you can also use a bit of butter for brushing.

  • I use milk unless I am doing a batch cooking session and know I will use a whole egg. If doing a really large batch session I mixe an egg with milk and use that.
    I am playing all of the right notes just not necessarily in the right order :D.

    I use powdered milk made up thicker then normal ( no one in our house drinks milk so I never have any in)
