Best Play Dough

1 cup flour

1 T. oil

1 cup water

1/2 c. salt

2 tsp. cream of tartar

food coloring

Mix all the ingredients together in a pot. Cook over medium heat until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pot and forms a ball. Stir constantly (this will be a work out). Remove from the heat and knead about 10 times until the dough is smooth. Store it in a plastic bag (stays soft for a long time.) This makes a soft, smooth dough that keeps its shape when molded. It will dry out, but not enough to make things like jewelry.
