Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
4 tbs Mckenzie's Cream of Tartar
1 cup of salt
2 cups of hot water
2 tbs cooking oil
few drops of food colouring
( you could add any other safe oils such as lavender etc)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with the two cups of hot water- pour and mix slowly. It may look watery at first but keep mixing untill you get a good dough consistency.
Put some flour on the bench and knead dough all together.
Hope it works well for you at home, even if you don't have Mrs Sweeney's magic touch.
