No cream of tartar and since it's oven baked there's no wait timeNote: there are many variations on this simple recipeExperiment until you get exactly what you wantIngredients 2 cups flour 1/2 cup salt 3/4 cups hot water (from tap) 1 teaspoons vegetable oil (optional) Mix the salt and flour together, then gradually add the water until the dough becomes elastic(Some recipes call for 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil at this point.) If your mixture turns out too sticky, simply add more flourIf it turns out too crumbly, simply add more waterKnead the dough until it’s a good consistency—then get out rolling pins, cups, bowls, straws, cookie cutters, plastic utensils, and let the fun begin! If you want colored dough, mix food coloring, powdered drink mix, or paint into the water before adding it to the dry ingredientsOr you can paint your creations after baking them at 200 degreesBaking times will vary depending on the size and thickness of the object, but make sure that all of it is hardIf the dough starts to darken before cooking is complete, cover with aluminum foilPainted keepsakes will need to be sealed on all sides with clear varnish or polyurethane sprayYou can store your salt dough in a sealed container in the refrigerator, but usually not more than a couple of days
