I have been on the lookout for a great playdoh recipe and have finally found it! I love homemade playdoh for many reasons. It can be eaten (Blaise just can't help himself) it's warm and really nothing like store bought playdoh and lastly because my mom made homemade playdoh and it just takes me back to my childhood (you're the best mom!). So... after many not so great recipes here's the best playdoh recipe I have seen so far! I am thinking of trying two packs of Kool-aid to make the color stronger. I don't think I've ever used this stuff to drink but it makes great playdoh color! It smells great too (but doesn't taste like it smells as Blaise found out!). http://www.simplymoms.com/ is where I found the recipe.
Kool-aid Dough
Flour 3cups
Salt 1 1/2 cups
Water 3 cups
Vegetable Oil 2TB.
Cream of tartar 1TB.
unsweetened "Kool-Aid" 1pkg.
Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.
Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away
from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon. At this point it looks like a sticky mess and will never be playdoh, but once it's cooled it becomes the real thing! Remove from heat. Cool until it can be handled.
Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.
Store in an air tight container.
