Hope your all well? In preperation for our halloween series i thought i would begin by showing you how to make your own sprikles, sprinkles from the shop are great but they are quite expensive especially if you want to buy different colours and they come in really small tubs so dont last very long! This way of making sprinkles is very inexpensive and you can make lots and lots!
All you need is:
A baking tray
Foil
Granulated sugar
Food colouring of your choice
Bowl
Spoon
Thats it!
First off preheat your oven to a very low temp......like gas mark 1.
Next pour half a cup of granulated sugar into a bowl..... I wanted purple and orange sprinkles so i used 1 cup of sugar split ino 2 bowls
Next add a drop of your chosen food colour to your sugar and mix well, gel food colours need a little more elbow grease to distribute the colour evenly....liquid colour works best but it really doesnt matter! I used both here and found it easier to mix with my fingers as the gel colour clumps up a bit so just keep working it!
Next line a tin with foil and evenly spread your sugar onto it and bake in the low oven for 10 mins, this will not only dry out the sugar from all the liquid but it will make it a bit more sparkly:)
Finally leave to cool, the sugar will go hard and clumpy! To bring it back to sprinkles place the sugar in a zip lock bag and break it up with a rolling pin until its fine granuals again!
Place in a jar and sprinkle away:)
