Time: 10 minutes plus time to cool
1/2 c white rice flour
1/2 c cornstarch (use can also arrowroot powder or potato starch)
2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 c salt
2 tsp oil
1 cup hot water (not boiling)
In a small pot combine flour, starch, cream of tartar and salt and give it a good stir. Add water and oil and stir/whisk till smooth.
Over low heat, with your mixture combined in the pot, stir with a wooden or silicon spoon. It will slowly thicken and start to pull away from the sides of the pot. You know it's done when the liquid has been absorbed and you essentially have a ball of firm dough in your pot. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool enough to touch, knead the dough a little before storing in an airtight container. If you need a stiffer dough, knead in more starch. This dough will dry rock hard, great for school projects that require the kids to "mold" clay and allow to dry for them to paint it:)
