1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tsp vegetable oil
glitter (opt.)
Mix the dry ingredients. Mix water and oil together in separate bowl
and then add them to the dry ingredients. In a pot, cook the mixture
for 3-5 minutes on medium heat stirring constantly. The dough will
start to pull away from the sides of the pot and stick together in a large
ball. Take the dough out and add glitter if desired. Knead it until it
becomes soft and smooth. Allow the dough to cool and store in an
airtight container.
