Best playdoh recipe EVER! Using alum instead of cream of tartar makes the dough a really nice consistency. My 8year old granddaughter made a batch today and it is the perfect playdoh!!! I won’t use any other recipe. Using exact measurements ensures it comes out the same every single time. Also, found that if my water is actually boiling when I add it, it seems to bind and mix better. Thanks food.com ??
