Russian Easter Eggs Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Russian Easter Eggs, also known as Pysanky, are beautifully decorated eggs that are traditionally made during Easter in Russia. These eggs are created using a wax-resist method, where intricate designs are drawn on the eggshell with melted beeswax. The eggs are then dyed in multiple colors, with each layer of wax protecting the previous color. Once the design is complete, the wax is melted off to reveal the vibrant and detailed patterns. Russian Easter Eggs are not only a symbol of Easter but also a cherished art form in Russian culture.
