Making The Batter
Tip: Don’t fold the sprinkles too much to avoid making a rainbow batter with too many streaks. Some streaking is inevitable, but most won’t be noticeable after baking (see above as a reference for an acceptable amount of streaking). Make sure to fold the sprinkles enough though or you will end up with dense pockets of sprinkles that don’t bake well.
