playdough

I made some playdough a couple of weeks ago, it was long overdue.

I ended up making three batches in three different colours.

It is a really nice recipe and I got a lovely smooth dough.

The recipe comes from NMAA Cooks (red cookbook)

Playdough

Mix:

1/2 C salt

1 C flour

2T cream of tartar

then add: 

1 C water

1T oil

food colouring

Stir, cook on medium heat 3-5 minutes until dough comes together (see photo), cool slightly and knead to a smooth dough.

Store in a zip lock bag or ice cream container.

We have had lots of playdough sessions.
