Yield: 1 batch
Materials
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour spoon, slightly packed, level up
- 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
- 3 teaspoons Red Liquid Food Coloring or white poster paint for the white playdough
- 2 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil like canola oil
Instructions
- In a non-stick saucepan, whisk all the dry ingredients: flour and cream of tartar.
- In a measuring cup of 1cup (250ml), add food coloring peppermint extract and fill the cup with water until it reaches the top.
- Pour onto the dry ingredients with the vegetable oil and stir to combine until a consistent paste forms.
- Bring to medium heat and cook the playdough constantly stirring, increasing heat if needed until the dough clumps up and forms a ball that unsticks from the side of the pan.
- When the dough comes together, stop heat, transfer to a floured surface and knead until soft and easy to play with.
- If the dough is too sticky, dust 1 extra tablespoon of flour and vigorously knead for 1 minute. As the dough cools down and absorbs the extra flour, it becomes super soft and less sticky.
- Repeat this recipe using white poster paint to make the batch of white playdough.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
