Playdough

We made Bisquick Play dough today.

Here is the recipe.

2 cups bisquick

1 cup salt

2 cups water

1 Tablespoon cream of tartar

1 Tablespoon oil

Food coloring

You can add kool aid, cocoa, peppermint flavoring or what ever you like.

Pour ALL of ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.  I stir it up a bit.  Microwave for 3 minutes, stop scrape and stir and return to microwave for another 3 minutes.  It should be ready for kneading now.  If not cook for another minute or so.

Now have FUN!
