Excellent Playdough
Apologies. I misspoke and implied that this is my recipe. I should have said that this is a recipe from my Moms Club. It is excellent. When my son was in kindergarten, I signed up for “playdough mom duty” one month. His teacher loved it so much, that I became her go-to gal in other months when no parent has signed up. Waiting for Kool-Aid to go on sale, and buying the other ingredients in bulk, will make this recipe even more economical.
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 packet unsweetened drink mix, such as Kool-Aid
Cook over medium heat, until mixture pulls away from sides of pan and becomes like playdough in consistency. Knead until cool. Keeps 3 months unrefrigerated.
