Cost:

Main Ingredients:

3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1 1/2 tsp. powdered alum
1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 c. boiling water
Food coloring

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Combine flour, salt, and alum in a mixing bowl. Add vegetable oil and boiling water. Stir vigorously with a spoon until well blended. Dough should not stick to the sides of the bowl and should be cool enough to handle. Add food coloring and knead into dough until color is well blended and the dough is the desired tint. Makes about 1 cup. Double the recipe for large projects. For groups, mix several double recipes rather than one large amount. HOW TO USE IT: This is an excellent play dough. It has a smooth texture, takes about 15 minutes to make, and dries to a hard finish overnight. Use it to make lovely dough flowers as well as animals and other figures. Store in a jar with a tight lid. Dough will keep several months without refrigeration. THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN ALTERED BY THE USER ON 08-07-1990.
