Homade Playdough
Ingredients : - 3 cups of boiling water
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cup salt
- 4 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoon cream of tartar
- food coloring
Directions :
Mix all ingredients except for the flour in a large bowl. Once well mixed, add flour. Stir continously until the dough mix leaves the sides of the bowl. When well blended, remove from bowl and knead on floured board. Careful, the dough will be hot, especially in the centre. At first it will seem undercooked, but as you knead and sprinkle with flour, you will find you have made a nice, soft playdough. Store in an airtight container. I never refrigerate my dough as putting it in the fridge makes it sweaty and it goes sticky.
