Ingredients:

• 3 cups plain flour
• 1 1/2 cups salt
• I tablespoon cream of tartar
• 3 tablespoons oil
• food colouring (usually a capful is enough)
• 3 cups boiling water

How to:

Add flour, salt and cream of tartar into a bowl. Mix together.

Mix the oil, food colouring and boiling water into a pouring jug. It’s best to add the food colouring this way so it mixes evenly.

Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients.

Mix well.

If the mixture appears a bit ‘sloppy’, put some flour into a board or kitchen bench and knead the playdough, adding more flour if necessary.

Place into an container. I usually recycle a 4-litre ice-cream container and it keeps for ages!!
