Cooked Playdough Recipe
You will need:
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 1 cup of salt
- 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 2 cups of water
To make:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a medium heat for 3-5 minutes. The dough should form a ball. Continue to turn over on the heat for another 1-2 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth as it cools.
To colour:
You have two options – add liquid food colouring directly to the saucepan or add a few drops of liquid food colouring to the ball of cooked dough and knead until the colour is fully distributed.
