(My kids' grandma)

Mix together:
3 C flour
1/2 C salt
1 Tbsp alum*

Mix together then combine with dry ingredients:
1 3/4 C boiling water
3 Tbsp cooking oil
Food coloring (20 plus drops)

Knead together like you would bread dough until all ingredients are well-blended.  Store in refridgerator (up to six months) in sealed container or resealable bag.

 (*Alum is a preservative - it's what makes it last 6 months in the fridge.)
