Equipment
- Thermomix
Ingredients
- 110 g salt
- 250 g water
- 1 tbs cream of tartar
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 tbs oil (coconut, vegetable etc are all fine)
- food colouring
- glitter and essential oils (optional)
Instructions
- Place the salt into the TM bowl and mix on Speed 10 for 5 seconds.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the water and cream of tartar and cook for 5 minutes, 60 degrees, Speed 3.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the plain flour and the oil and mix together for 50 seconds, Speed 4.
- Knead for 1 minute on Interval Speed.
- Check the texture and if it's a little sticky, add some more flour and knead for a further 30 seconds.
- Separate the playdough into several bowls if making different colours (if you're only making one colour, leave the playdough in the Thermomix, add 1-2 drops of food colouring and mix on Interval/Kneading Function for 1-2 minutes).
- In the bowls of playdough, add 1 tiny drop of food colouring (and a sprinkle of glitter - optional) to each bowl and mix together with your hands until the colour is evenly dispersed (wear gloves!).
- Store the playdough in sealable plastic bags at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Notes
NOTES & TIPS
Doubling - This recipe can be easily doubled in your Thermomix. The think you'll need to change is that the kneading time may need to be increased.
Gloves - If you're making several colours of playdough and mixing the colour through by hand, ensure you wear gloves as the food colouring will stick to your hands. This is not necessary if you're just making one colour and mixing it in the Thermomix.
Storing - Store the playdough in sealable plastic bags (like Glad bags) at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Glitter and Essential Oils - Add a sprinkle of glitter and a few drops of essential oils along with the food colouring for sparkly and scented playdough.
