Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • Food coloring (various colors)
  • Optional: Edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Mixing the Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, then gradually add the granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine, ensuring a light and airy texture for the dough.
  2. Combining Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. The dough may appear shaggy at first, but this is expected.
  3. Creating the Swirl Effect: Divide the dough into several smaller portions in separate bowls. Add different food coloring drops to each portion and mix until the desired color is achieved. Then take small amounts from each colored portion and gently knead them together without fully blending the colors to create a beautiful swirl effect.
  4. Shaping the Balls: Roll small handfuls of the swirled dough between your palms to form smooth, round balls. Place each ball on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion during baking.
  5. Baking to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the shaped balls for 15-20 minutes or until they turn lightly golden and have a perfect bounce. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  6. Finishing Touches: While the bounce balls are still warm, sprinkle edible glitter over them for a shimmering finish. Once fully cooled, serve and enjoy the colorful, magical treats.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal blending.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a light and airy texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different color combinations for unique visual effects.
  • Allow the bounce balls to cool completely before serving to enhance texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
  • If dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Optional additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, mini chocolate chips, and alternative extracts like almond or lemon.
