mirowave playdough

[redbull]

tried at making microwave playdough today for my son to say it didnt turn out.
Anyone got any recipes for it PLEASE also posted on cooking

"bump"

Out of interest why not make the saucepan one?
Seem to remember it being dead easy, but if no hob, then no help - sorry.

never tried the sauce pan one and thought it would be done easier in microwave!!!! also son wanted to help so i thought microwave one safer as well

Saucepan is easier as you see what's happening so can stir as appropriate to combat lumps, and whip it off heat at the right moment.
Could DS help by playing with it afterwards?

rummums playdough recipe

you will need

• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup of water
• food colouring
• glitter (optional)
• small pot of essence added to water to make up 1 cup (optional)

combine ingredients in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring all the time. When the dough has a good consistency, take it off the heat and allow to cool.
I often add green colouring and mint essence

enjoy... but beware of it in the carpets because of the colourings....

I have done both and prefer the microwave one as its easier to clean the bowl than the saucepan.
Basically you just use the same recipe for both but cook in microwave.
You need to keep stopping and stirring (every 30 secs or so)it sort of goes drier around the edge so you need to stir into the middle of the bowl and just keep on cooking until it is done - it may take longer than the recipe says and i use a little less water too.

recommend non-stick saucepan if doing it on hob!

Thankyou all i will give it a go tomorrow and will let you know how it turns out the recepie that i used was
1 cup salt
2 cup flour
3 tbs tartar
2 tbs oil
2 cups of water
food coloring the perportions are completely differnt

So have you tried again yet redbull?
Sounds llike your recipe had too much water.
