Recipe #3: Cooked Play Dough

This is definitely not soup. It's also definitely not edible. It's also a staple of my childhood: play dough. Home made play dough. You can eat it. I've ate it. It tastes like ... salt!

To preserve (and re-use), keep in plastic wrap or plastic bag. Or leave out to harden. Instant statue!

*

1 cup white flour
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 cup water
food colouring


Mix dry ingredients in a sauce pan.

Add the food colouring to the water.

Stir the oil into the dry mixture, then stir in the water.

Cook over medium heat, continuing to stir until the mixture pulls away from the side of the saucepan.

Remove from the heat and let cool.

Form dough into a ball.

If too soft, roll on a floured surface until the right density.
