Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, mix 1½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons pasteurized egg white, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon fine salt until a smooth paste forms. If making multiple colors, divide the paste into separate containers.
-
Step 2.
Add a few drops of natural food coloring to each portion and blend well until the color is evenly distributed.
-
Step 3.
Spoon the colored paste into a pastry bag fitted with a very small plain tip. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 4.
For classic sprinkles, pipe teeny-tiny lines onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least ½ inch of space between each line. Let dry at room temperature for 24 hours, then slice into your preferred sprinkle size.
-
Step 5.
For dot sprinkles, pipe teeny-tiny dots onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ½ inch between each dot. Let dry at room temperature for 24 hours before using.
