Aunt Cathy's Best Play Dough EVER!
This past weekend we were up in Sacramento visiting our dear Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bill (and their whole family including grand-kids) at their new place. Aunt Cathy made up a batch of play dough for the visiting cousins. I remembered how great it is to have fresh play dough, and since apparently not all recipes are created equal, decided to archive a copy for her here on the blog, just in case she misplaces the other copies that U Bill squirrelled away. The only thing more fun is her pizza dough (coz then you get to eat it...)
2 Cs flour
1 C salt
2 Tbs Cream of Tartar
1Tbs cooking oil
2 Cs water
food colouring
Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients.
Mix all wet ingredients.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing till smooth.
Cook over medium heat until consistency of commercial play dough (I'll try to work on a better description but this is how it was described in the recipe)
Allow to cool then knead until smooth and elastic.
Store in an airtight container.
If young children are helping by making individual portions, let each child:
*pour some mixed dry ingredients into a bowl
*add in some mixed wet ingredients
*allow child to stir to his/her heart's content.
Adult:
*combine contents of all bowls into pot, mix some more and then cook.
