I have to share this recipe for homemade play dough. It's SO much better than the store bought kind. More flexible and it smells really good. The secret ingredient in this is Kool-Aid. That's right!
Homemade Play Dough
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup table salt
1 pkg (6 g) Kool-Aid Unsweetened Drink Mix, any flavor
1 Tbsp cream of tartar
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
wax or parchment paper
small airtight container
Mix first four ingredients in a big bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Stir with a fork for 3-4 minutes or until cooled. Mix with hands until well blended.
Place on wax or parchment paper. Knead until no longer sticky, adding additional flour one teaspoon at a time if needed.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Have fun!
One of my things on my summer to-do list was to make homemade ice cream or sorbet. I made a batch of strawberry sorbet this weekend and it turned out really good. I'll share the recipe with ya. Enjoy!
Fruit Sorbet
2 cups fruit puree or juice
3/4 to 1 1/4 cup sugar
up to 2 T lemon juice
1 T vodka (it improves the texture)
Combine all in a large bowl. Stir on and off for several minutes until sugar is dissolved. Rub your finger along the bottom of the bowl to see if the sugar is dissolved. Pour into a container. Cover and refrigerate until sorbet is 40 degrees F or lower. Pour into your ice cream maker and churn. Freeze up to 2 days.
