Cooked Play Dough

In a medium saucepan, combine dry ingredients; stir in oil, water and food coloring.

Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until mixture pulls away from pan.

Turn out onto waxed-paper-covered counter or tabletop (to avoid staining surface) and knead until smooth.

The dough will keep up to a couple of weeks in an airtight container and does not require refrigeration. For texture variations, add dry coffee grounds, sand, glitter and dry Jell-O.
