Patriotic Play-Dough

Photobucket

Play dough is a great holiday activity, you can make custom colors depending on the holiday and use different tools as well. I got this play-dough recipe from a cook off I had a few months back, it was one of the very best and keeps forever in the fridge in a sealed bag.

1. Gather your recipe :

2 cups bisquick
1 cup salt
2 cups water
1 TBSP cream of tartar or alum
1 TBSP oil
Food coloring

Put everything in a microwave safe bowl, cook on high for 3 minutes. Stir and scrape the sides then cook for another 2 minutes.

2. Knead while hot, and be careful it will be very very hot.
