ideaBest Playdough (I usually triple or quadruple this recipe and cook it in a large deep frying pan) Combine in saucepan: 1 cup flour 1/4 cup salt 1 tsp. cream of tartar Add and whisk until smooth: 1 cup water 1 Tbsp oil Food coloring (Cake decorators paste or liquid makes great colors) Cook over medium heat until nearly playdough is nearly set. Add: 1 Tbsp. imitation vanilla extract Stir until vanilla is blended, then remove and knead when cool. Store in Ziploc bag or air tight container. Note: This is the best playdough recipe I have ever found. The vanilla extract seems improve the texture and adds a nice scent as well.

Add color to water and stir into dry mixture a little at a time. Microwave on Hi 1 min. Scrape sides of bowl and mix well. Microwave 2-3 min longer, stirring after each minute. Let stand uncovered 3 min. Remove from bowl scraping sides well and knead about 1 min or until smooth. Store in airtight container. Can be baked: 225 degrees. 1 hr. turn and back 1 to 1 1/2 hrs longer. Cool on wire rack. This does not make a large amount but is great for a small group or when you want more than one color at a time. Use unsweetened Kool Aid for brighter color or terrific scented dough.
