What you will need:
- 1 cup salt
- 2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 cups flour
How to make Gingerbread Playdough
Combine the salt, water, oil, cream of tartar, ginger, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until boiling begins.
Add the flour and lower the heat, stirring vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides of the saucepan and begins to form a ball. There might appear to be small lumps of flour not blending in but these will blend during kneading. (We think the dough looks like refried beans.)
Remove from the heat and turn out onto parchment paper or wax paper. Allow to cool briefly.
Knead well, having fun by rolling and punching. This will blend in the small lumps of flour.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before playing.
