You'll need
Directions
- Combine the flour, water, salt, vegetable oil, cream of tartar, pumpkin pie spice, and food coloring (4 drops red and 8 drops yellow) in a medium saucepan.
- Set the pan over medium heat and stir constantly as the mixture warms up.
- Keep stirring vigorously as the dough begins to clump together—this gets tough fast!
- Once most of the dough has formed a single lump, take the pan off the heat.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it's no longer sticky, but not dry either.
- If you'd like to give these as Halloween gifts, pop the playdough into small plastic bags and tie with a festive ribbon.
