Small batch
INGREDIENTS:
-
2 Cups Flour
4 tsp Cream of tartar
2 Cups Water
2 Tbs Cooking oil
Liquid food coloring
Airtight plastic containers with lid, or quart-size resealable plastic baf
In a bowl, mix together the flour and cream of tarter. Set aside. Combine the water, oil and a few drops of food coloring* in a 3qt sauce pan. Heat on medium just until warm. Then, add the dry ingredients and stir quickly. Continue stirring and cook on medium/low heat for another minute or two until the doe pulls away from the side of the pan.
Remove the mixture from the pan and knead it on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Cool completely.
For a longer life, between uses store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container or in a re-sealable plastic bag with the excess air squeezed out.
Idea: For an inexpensive gift, make some dough in different colors. Place each color in it’s own disposable container and pair it with a mini-rolling pin and some cookie cutters. For an added bonus, print the recipe and include it with the gift.
