Playdough Recipe without Cream of Tartar
Ingredients
- 1 cups of flour
- 1 Tablespoon of salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon of Oil
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- Food Coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Using a bowl add the flour, salt, and oil. I used canola oil but any oil works.
- Add in the food coloring and the warm water.
- Mix with a spoon until you can no longer blend it.
- Once the water cools down a bit, you can start kneading the dough with your hands.
- When you have a good consistency, add some flour onto your cutting board and knead some more.
- If the dough sticks to your fingers it needs more flour. Add a little bit at a time to not dry the dough. If you dry it by mistake, just add a little bit of water.
