Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 4 tbsp softened butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles

Equipment

  • baking sheet for heat-treating flour
  • mixing bowl
  • stand mixer or hand mixer
  • rubber spatula
  • serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or microwave it for 3 minutes stirring halfway through.
  2. Allow the flour to cool completely before using.
  3. Add softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
  4. Beat for about 3 minutes until pale, fluffy, and well combined.
  5. Add milk, cooled flour, and salt to the bowl.
  6. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles using a rubber spatula.
  8. Transfer the dough to a serving bowl and top with additional sprinkles if desired.
  9. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Let soften at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Always heat-treat the flour before mixing. For a less sprinkle-heavy texture, use 2 tablespoons of sprinkles in the dough and reserve the rest for topping. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and allow to soften at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before serving.
