Unpaid chefs have to cook inedible things from time to time. Like play dough for the kids to fight over play with.
This recipe is great. It works beautifully and you don’t have that pan full of stuck-on dough to clean afterwards.

Your will need:

* 1/2 cup of salt
* 1 cup of flour
* 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar (Cream of Tartar is a natural powdered raising agent for use in scones, drop scones, soda bread and a wide range of other recipes)
* 1 tablespoon of oil
* I cup of boiling water (from the kettle) mixed with
some food colouring (OR a the contents of three blackcurrant dazzler fruit tea bags for lovely fruity rich purple)

What to do:

Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then mix vigourously with the hot water.

Makes wonderful playdough which lasts for ages in little plastic sandwich bags.
