Best Play Dough Recipe

BEST EVER NO-COOK PLAY DOUGH RECIPE

You need:

• 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil  (baby oil and coconut oil work too)
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
• gel food colouring (optional)
• few drops glycerine (my secret ingredient for stretch and shine!)

Method:

• Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
• Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients
• Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
• Add the glycerine (optional)
• Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
• If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right

• Small 250ml plastic container with lid (available at Westpack)

📌 Instructions:

1. Stir together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a large pot.

3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the dough thickens and forms a ball.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Knead until smooth.
