Ingredients
* 1 cup of plain flour
* 1/4 cup of salt
* 3/4 cup of water
* 3 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
* 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil/sunflower seed oil
* 2 teaspoons of food colouring colour of choice
Method
Step 1.
Mix the flour and salt together in 1 bowl.
Step 2.
Using a heavy saucepan – add the water, oil, lemon juice and food colouring.
Step 3.
Heat the water mixture – until just boiling – don’t boil and over heat – as soon as you see the bubbles take it off the heat.
Step 4.
Very quickly add the flour mixture into the water mixture and stir. It will be very hot but the quicker you can bind it together the better!
Step 5.
Wearing some washing up gloves as the mixture is still very hot – tip it out onto a flat surface and knead until it takes on a playdough like texture. The quicker you can do this the better so that it binds together before cooling.
Step 6.
Roll into a ball and leave to cool for 30mins
Step 7.
Store in a container in the fridge and will last around 2 weeks.
