Sprinkles are the crowning glory of many baked goods and give cakes, crumbles and muffins a distinctive crunchy texture. With this simple recipe you can make your own sprinkles in no time and take your baking creations to a new level. Whether gluten-free, refined with cinnamon or vegan – here you will find the right variant for every taste.

The sprinkles aren’t crunchy?

To make the crumbles extra crispy, there is also a simple but very effective trick: sprinkle them with ice-cold water shortly before the end of the baking time. This little temperature shock gives them a golden brown color and a little more crunch.

Are the sprinkles too hard?

Using hot air will dry out the sprinkles more quickly and they will become dry and hard once cooled. Cakes should always be baked on the appropriate shelf: sheet cakes in the middle of the oven and taller cakes (cheesecakes, fruit cakes) in the lower third.

Who invented sprinkles?

The wonderful sprinkles that make our desserts and desserts a highlight go back to 1913: The Erven H. de Jong chocolate factory from Wormerveer brought chocolate sprinkles onto the market for the first time in March 1913 and associated the term “Hagelslag”. Enter “Chocolate”. We say thank you!

Can you freeze raw crumble dough?

Yes, you can freeze sprinkles without any problem. To do this, spread the unbaked sprinkles on a baking sheet or tray lined with baking paper and place them in the freezer for about 1 hour. Then fill them into a suitable freezer container or freezer bag and freeze them. I then always cut out the amount I need and always have a dessert at home quickly and at any time, without much effort. Quickly put an apple in a small baking pan, sprinkle on top – done!

With these sprinkles you can transform any cake, crumble and muffin into a crispy highlight. Just try it!
