When making play doh can you substitute cream of tartar for salad cream?
No!!!! Cream of tartar is a white crystalline powder. Chemically it is potassium hydrogen tartrate. Edit: Try this instead. Salt Dough—fun for all ages! Note: there are many variations on this simple recipe. Our advice is to experiment until you get exactly what you want. Ingredients 4 cups flour 1 cup salt 1-1/2 cups hot water (from tap) 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (optional) Mix the salt and flour together, then gradually add the water until the dough becomes elastic. (Some recipes call for 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil at this point.) If your mixture turns out too sticky, simply add more flour. If it turns out too crumbly, simply add more water. Knead the dough until it’s a good consistency—then get out rolling pins, cups, bowls, straws, cookie cutters, plastic utensils, and let the fun begin! If you want colored dough, mix food coloring, powdered drink mix, or paint into the water before adding it to the dry ingredients. Or you can paint your creations after baking them at 200 degrees
