Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tsp cream of tartar* (omit if you don’t have this – all will be well!)
  
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp oil
• food colouring

Directions

1. 1. Blend flour, salt and cream of tartar.
   2. Add oil and food colouring to water, and combine the dry & wet ingredients in a non-stick skillet, stirring well. Mixture will be very sticky.
   3. Cook on medium heat, keeping the dough in motion so it does not burn. (It’s done when it’s no longer sticky and the surface becomes kind of shiny)
   4. Knead while it cools.

   Tips:

   •  It’s under-cooked if it remains sticky or overly oily.
   • We use cream of tartar, but it’s kind of expensive and if you omit it, your play dough will still be good, but may not last as long.
