Homemade Playdough
3 cups water
6 Tablespoons oil
5 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 Tablespoons alum
1-2 drops peppermint flavoring
food coloring of your choice
In large saucepan, boil water and add oil. May also add food coloring at this time if you only desire one color. Remove from heat and add flour, salt, and alum. Mix well. When cool enough to work with hands, may divide dough for more colors. Work color in by kneading dough. Keeps fresh in refrigerator for several months. Enjoy!
