I can't tell you how many batches of this I have cooked up over the ages. I usually like to divide the finished product in half or thirds and color each a different color. It's great fun to let the kids knead in the color of their choice when it cools a bit. Remember to store this in airtight containers so it won't dry out. Easy, cheap, fast and fun. . .what more could you ask for? :)
1 c flour
1 c water
1/2 c salt (table)
2 t cream of tartar
1 T oil
Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan, blending very well. Cook over medium heat until the mixture pulls away and forms into a ball (looks more like a glob than a ball actually). Remove from pan, cool slightly until you can handle it and knead until it is smooth. Divide and color with a few drops of food coloring. And speaking of cream of tartar, we were you know, I only have 2 recipes that call for that ingredient, this one and coincidentally SNICKERDOODLES. Happy play time all.
