Play Dough

Transcribed from a printout dated 1999-05-30

• 1 cup white flour
• {{frac|1|2} cup salt
• 2 tbsp cream or tartar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• (food coloring, optional)

Mix all ingredients together cold in sauce pan. Turn on medium heat and stir constantly until it pulls into a mass (it will become difficult to stir near the end). Turn it out onto counter and knead briefly until smooth.

Note: If it turns out sticky, there's too much flour. If it seems dry, try kneading in a little more oil.
