    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the flour, salt, and Cream of Tartar together
  2. Boil the 4 cups of water
  3. Once the water is boiling, add vanilla extract and food coloring (I didn't measure either, I just poured some of each in. Add both until you like the smell and color.)
  4. Mix the boiling water mixture with the dry ingredient mixture
  5. Stir until well mixed
  6. Add vegetable oil
  7. Stir until well combined
  8. Put the dough on a cutting board (Mine was pretty oily when I put it on the cutting board, but once I kneaded it for awhile, it blended well)
  9. Knead, knead, knead,until it cools
  10. If the dough is sticky, add more flour (I did not need to add any additional flour)
