Cooked Playdough

Ingredients
2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of salt
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups of water
4 teaspoons cream or tartar
Food colouring

Method
1. Mix all ingredients together and cook in a microwave oven on a medium low power setting for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Further cooking maybe required for 1 minute on low power.
2. Alternatively, this can be done in a saucepan on the stove stirring continuously until it comes together well.
3. For both methods knead well.

Notes: this method is great for children to play with whilst it is still warm. Add glitter at the kneading stage to make it beautiful for little girls.
