made play dough using tmx this morning.
this was our second time using tmx.
our very first home made play dough was cooked on the stove.
hence without having me to tell you, i will not cook it on the stove ever again.
i accidentally poured oil in the first step (instead of the last step) but thankfully they turned out beautiful.
the whole process only takes 7 minutes!
Copied the recipe from somewhere but i dont remember the link.
Thermomix Playdough
Ingredients:
250g Water
100g Cooking Salt
1 Tablespoon Cream of Tartar
280g Plain Flour
15ml Cooking Oil
Food Colouring or Powder Paints (to colour)
Preparation:
Put the water, salt, cream of tartar and food colour into
. Heat for 5 minutes at 60o on speed 3.
After cooking, add flour and mix for 40 seconds or until mixture is combined and thick.
Set dial to closed lid position.
Add oil and knead for 1 minute on
Tips/Hints:
If you wish to make several different colours from the one batch, leave out the food colour in step 1. Then when dough is made, divide dough into balls and add a different colour to each ball. Knead the colour through the dough. Store each colour in a separate airtight container to keep dough from hardening.
Encourage your children to be creative and make play dough models, characters, animals etc.
I have written this recipe as I now make it, which is the "tried and tested forum recipe"!!
Thanks everyone for your input.

He still does not fancy playing with the dough.
he only wants to make them into balls.
Gave him a plastic knife to cut but...he is still not quite *there* yet
toothpicks to poke around. he did not, i did!
cookie cutters to cut.

i get discouraged easily.
im gonna brush it aside and get motivated to introduce other activities!
