Time 20m

Yield 1 ounce of sprinkles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
1 large egg white
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Assorted food coloring

Steps:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fit a piping bag (or several, if making different colors) with a small round tip.
In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar, egg white and salt. The consistency should be slightly thicker than glue. Stir in a bit of water if it is too thick or more confectioners' sugar if it is too thin.
Tint the mixture with food coloring (or divide among bowls and tint each a different color). Transfer to the piping bag and pipe lines onto the prepared baking sheet. Let dry at room temperature until completely set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Scrape the lines off the paper and break into sprinkles.

White sprinkles
Powdered food coloring

Steps:

Billy Reece, owner of Billy's Bakery, shares his trick for making colored sprinkles. Place white sprinkles and powdered food coloring in a self-closing plastic bag and shake until you achieve the desired color. The powder bonds to the sprinkles, creating custom-colored sprinkles.
