Ingredients
Scale
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon alum powder
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
gel food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the flour, salt, and alum. Add the water and oil. Whisk until smooth then add enough gel food coloring to get the desired color intensity.
- Cook the mixture over medium low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- After it forms a dough, dump that dough onto a floured counter and knead in a bit more flour (2-3 Tb) until it is smooth and no longer sticky. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
If you cannot find alum powder, you can substitute cream of tartar but the dough will not be quite as soft.
