Servings: 2 -1/2 cups of playdough

Ingredients

  • 1 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ ½ cup salt
  • 1 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 1 cup water
  • 1 1 tablespoon cooking oil like canola or vegetable
  • 4-6 4-6 drops food coloring

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the dry ingredients. In a 2-cup or larger liquid measuring cup, combine the water, oil, and food coloring. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball (it will be shaggy and messy looking). This should only take a few minutes.
  2. On a lightly greased countertop, turn out the playdough and knead until smooth. Store the playdough in a tightly covered container or ziploc bag. Tightly covered, the playdough will keep for several months.
