Homemade Sprinkles

Ever wonder what I do all day? No? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway.

Today, I made sprinkles. I made sprinkles for 4 straight hours. Then I put them on a bunch of stuff.

Let me tell you why homemade sprinkles are so awesome:

It’s three ingredients.
It can be made in whatever quantity I want.
It can be tinted to any color I need.
And it actually tastes good!

What you need:

1 cup powder sugar
1 – 3 tablespoons milk (depending on whether you want a thicker or runnier consistency; I prefer a thicker consistency for these, roughly the same as butter cream frosting)
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Optional:
Food coloring of choice (I would add 1 to 2 drops per cup of powder sugar, and I highly recommend gel based)
Flavored extracts (about 1/4 teaspoon of extract per cup of icing)

What to do:

Mix everything up in a bowl. The end.

To make the sprinkles, place the icing in a baggie and cut of a very small corner tip to “pipe out” dots onto parchment paper. (At work I use a pastry bag with a #3 tip, if you just have one laying around..). Each row takes roughly 15-20 seconds. They dry and are ready to be used after a few hours.

I did eight rows of 18-20 dots (roughly 160 dots) per sheet of parchment paper.
