Salt is one of the 1st ingredients I reach for when cooking. It’s one of the most important ingredients in many recipes. A small amount of salt in baked goods enances the sweetness? A pinch of salt while brewing your morning coffee cuts down the acidity. Besides flavoring salt has tons of uses not just in the kitchen but for cleaning and kids crafts too.
Salt Dough
Ingredients:
- about 1 cup of salt
- about 1 cup of flour
- about 1 cup of water
Instructions:
In a very large bowl, mix together the salt and the flour. Make a well in the salt/flour mixture and add the water, add more by the tablespoon as needed to get the consistency desired. Knead until smooth.
When not in use, wrap in plastic or store in an airtight container
HINT: To get a softer dough add more flour NOT more salt. Add food coloring a couple drops at a time for a variety of colors then knead well to get an even color. Clay can be molded into ornaments or sculptures and painted after they have fully dried. Insert a straw before drying to get your ribbon hole
