Ingredients

– all-purpose flour – salt – cream of tartar – water – vegetable oil – Food coloring – Jello

Add all ingredients in a medium pan, stirring until well blended.

Step 1

Cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, stirring consistently.

Step 2

Once the liquid is absorbed and the dough starts to form a ball, remove from heat.

Step 3

Transfer the dough ball to a non-stick surface.  We love to use parchment paper. Once it has cooled enough to handle, knead the dough until smooth - about 2 minutes.
