Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 normal size box of jelly powder 

Method:

1. Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt and cream of tartar together in a saucepan.
2. Add jelly powder to boiling water and stir until dissolved.
3. Add jelly water and oil to dry ingredients.
4. I use a whisk before heating as I find this helps remove lumps and blends the ingredients well.
5. Cook over medium heat constantly stirring until it becomes a thick blob.
6. Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth ball. Be careful the play dough will be very hot!  Use a little bit of flour if the play dough is sticky.
7. Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.
