Homemade Sprinkles

Makes 4 cups

Ingredients

• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• ¼ cup meringue powder
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• ½ tsp. almond or vanilla extract
• Gel paste food color, such as AmeriColor, in desired shades

Directions

Active time: 1 hour
Total time: 2 hours

Cut 8 sheets of waxed paper, each the size of a baking sheet. Fit a pastry bag (use a separate bag for each color) with a #2 round tip. In a large bowl, put confectioners' sugar, 1/3 cup water, meringue powder, lemon juice, and almond extract. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat on low speed until ingredients are incorporated. Tint icing as desired, thinning it slightly by adding up to 1 Tbsp. water and continue to beat until it forms glossy medium peaks. Fill pastry bag with icing. Pipe long rows of icing onto prepared waxed paper. Let dry at least 1 hour. Using a sharp knife, cut icing into small pieces. Store in plastic zip-top bags or jars.
