Sprinkle Cupcakes


Who doesn't love sprinkles? Who doesn't enjoy an obscene amount of oh-so-colorful sprinkles on a cut-out cookie, or an ice cream cone, or a cupcake? Let's be real, sprinkles would be good on anything. Except maybe meatloaf.


Satisfy that sprinkles fix and feel like a 6-year old girl: go crazy with the sprinkles. And you might as well get out the glitter and the My Little Ponies while you're at it.


Sprinkle Cupcakes (makes 12)
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup crisco
2 eggs
1 TB vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup colorful sprinkles, plus more for finishing

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together crisco and sugar. Add in eggs and dry ingredients. Then pour in milk. Fold in sprinkles. Don't over stir the sprinkles or the color will run!
Line cupcake tin and fill with batter 2/3 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
