Lisa's Bestest Uncooked Playdough

by Lisa Shull

Ingredients:

2 c all purpose flour
2 TBS vegetable oil
1/2 c salt
2 TBS cream of tartar
Up to 1.5 c boiling water (add in increments)
food colouring (optional) [I prefer gel colour,(found at craft type shops) it is so much more concentrated]
scented extracts or oils (optional)

Prep: 15 min

Directions:

For smooth dough; dissolve salt in boiling water. This may take a couple reheatings.
Mix flour and cream of tartar together in a large bowl.
Add oil, food colouring, and scent to the liquid mixture.
Add liquid to dry ingredients, stirring continously untili it becomes a sticky, combined dough.
Allow to cool and knead the dough vigorously for a couple of minutes until it is no longert sticky. This is an important step, so keep at it until it feels right.
If it is still too sticky, knead in more flour sparingly until perfect.
