Allergen-Free Play-Dough (adapted from Kathryn at Foodlab)

- 1 cup water
- A few drops of food coloring (optional).
- Mix the flour, salt and Cream of Tartar in a saucepan.
- Add the oil and gradually blend in the water and food coloring, if using.
- Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until mixture is stiff and leaves the sides of the pan clean.
- Set aside until cool enough to handle, then knead gently on a work surface until smooth.
