Not exactly a food recipe, but one I thought worth having on here.
Salt Dough
2 cups boiling water
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp. alum (you can find it in the spice aisle)
2 1/2 - 3 cups flour
Put the 2 1/2 c. flour, salt, alum, and vegetable oil in a bowl. Pour in the boiling water and stir. When stirring with a spoon becomes hard, use your hands. Add more flour if necessary until the dough is no longer sticky. Turn dough out onto counter top and knead in several drops of food coloring if desired.
