Birthday Sand

Ingredients

1/4

cup granulated sugar

tablespoon light brown sugar - tightly packed

2/3

cup cake flour

1/4

teaspoon baking powder

1/4

teaspoon kosher salt

tablespoon rainbow sprinkles

tablespoon grapeseed oil

teaspoon clear vanilla extract

Birthday Sand

Step 1

Heat the oven to 300°f.

Step 2

Combine the sugars, flour, baking powder, salt, and sprinkles in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed until well combined.

Step 3

Add the oil and vanilla and paddle again to distribute. The wet ingredients will act as glue to help the dry ingredients form small sandy clusters; continue paddling until that happens.

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Let the crumbs cool completely before using. Grind down in a food processor if the crumbs are not small and sandy enough (they will not glue to the white chocolate coating in the birthday cake truffle recipe!) Stored in an airtight container, the sand will keep fresh for 1 week at room temperature or 1 month in the fridge or freezer.
