Grandma Howlett's Playdough

Here's a recipe my mom has used for years for the kids. The alum - used in pickling - is a natural preservative, so this playdough lasts MUCH longer than most. We have made it LOTS of times, including for school projects. The kids love it!

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 a sealed container or resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to six months.
