1 T oil, 1 c flour, 2 t cream of tartar, 1 c water, 1/2 c salt, 2 t food colouring. Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until dough is no longer sticky and suddenly grabs together in a glob. Take off heat. Turn on to floured board and knead until smooth. Enjoy!

Oh dear, I cleaned out the pantry the other day and chucked out an old box of cream of tartar! Will this keep for long? And, if i don't want to keep it could I get away with making it without the cream of tartar?

If you are really desperate for playdough, a mix of two cups flour, one cup salt and hot water is good enough. (No oil or cream of tartar) Mix any colouring into the water before you mix it through the flour and salt. I used this method for years at playcentre and it was just fine. Doesn't keep well for ages but the kids normally don't want it that long anyway.
