Homemade Sprinkles

1. 1

   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine confectioner's sugar, egg white, extract, and salt. Mix the ingredients on low speed until a paste forms. The paste should have the consistency of liquid glue. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue mixing until all the confectioner's sugar is fully incorporated.

2. 2

   Divide the paste into as many portions as you have colors, tinting each batch with the color of the choice. Use a rubber spatula to stir the food coloring into the paste until it's an even color.

3. 3

   Transfer the different colored pastes into their own pastry bags, each fitted with a small pastry tip (Wilton's #2 or #3). Pipe out long, thin lines on a cookie or jelly roll pan, ensuring that the lines do not touch each other. Repeat the process with the remaining colors and allow the piped lines to set uncovered in a dry place for 24 hours.

4. 4

   Once the piped lines have dried completely, use a bench scraper or a butter knife to break the piped lines into short, sprinkle-sized pieces. Use immediately, or store in a dry, airtight container for up to 1 month.
