1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/2 cup salt

1 tablespoon. oil

1 tablespoon cream of tartar

food coloring

	Mix all ingredients in a nonstick skillet.
	Cook over medium heat, stirring, until it forms a ball (about 5 minutes).
	Cool slightly & knead on countertop until smooth.
	Store, wrapped tightly in plastic, in refrigerator. The dough (unlike the commercial kind) hardens on standing -- great for making permanent "treasures".
