How to make this recipe
Step one: heat treat the flour!
Did you know you aren’t supposed to eat raw flour? Heat treating is the process of cooking the flour so that it kills all the bacteria inside of it.
This is a NECESSARY step and you absolutely cannot skip it if you want to get that 100% safety clearance. No worries though, it is super easy. All you have to do is spread out the flour on a rimmed baking sheet and heat it in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes!
Step two: combine the rest of the ingredients
In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter, confectioners sugar, and granulated sugar and mix on low until pale and fluffy- about 1 minute.
Next add in the vanilla and milk or cream and mix lightly again. Then add in the heat treated flour and mix to combine! Toss in the sprinkles, shape into balls and you’re done!
Ways to serve
You can either scoop out the balls using an ice cream scoop or shape with your hands. Or you can serve it in a dip bowl with spoons!
