Anyone know how to make your own play dough?

Sorry I know the question is a little wierd!

 

[Charlotte & Emily]

7-8 cups all-purpose or bread flour
3 cups salt
3 tablespoons cream of tartar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups hot water
food coloring

Mix seven cups of flour together with the salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of your stand-type mixer. Add the oil and water and knead with a dough hook in your electric stand-type mixer for five to six minutes. (If you are kneading by hand, knead for eight to ten minutes.) Add more flour to get a soft, workable dough.

Store the dough in a sealed container to keep it from becoming dry. If it becomes too dry, place it back in the mixer bowl and knead in a dribble of water.

Hi there,

My friend is a nursery nurse and she said to try this:

2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup of water.

Mix to form a smooth paste.
Put into pan and cook slowly, until dough comes away from side of pan and forms a ball.
When cool enough, knead for 4 mins.
Put pan to soak immediately.

Hope it works as she has never tried. It was a recipe from her college.
