Inspired by the last round of cookie making at Wanz’, I decided to try my hand at making homemade dough for play.

I had some expired flour which I bought thinking I’ll make some pancakes but as usual, it just sat there. Flour and me just don’t mix well. Anyways, I really didn’t want to waste it so I looked into a craft book for the recipe and just whacked! So simple! Aiyoh. She loved it! I had fun too.

Recipe For Uncooked Salt Dough

2 parts of flour to 1 part of salt (e.g 2 cups of flour n 1 cup of salt)

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 part of water (e.g 1 cup of water)

Powder paint/food colouring (I omitted)

Method: Mix the flour and salt. Add in the oil and water. Mix them all up and knead. If it becomes sticky, add more flour. Our mixture based on the above measures seems too sticky so I just kept adding flour until it felt right.
