Vanilla Play Dough 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup salt 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 tablespoons oil 2 cups water Food coloring Vanilla extract Measure out the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and then stir them together thoroughly. Put the dry ingredients into a saucepan with the oil, water, food coloring and vanilla extract. Stir continuously over low heat until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured pastry board and knead while the mixture cools. Continue to knead for 5 to 10 minutes. If the mixture is too day, occasionally dampen your hands while kneading. If it is too sticky, dust the mixture with a little extra flour. Store play dough in a plastic container with an airtight lid.
