    I have tried a number of recipes and this one is by far the best,the vanilla extract gives a better texture(like the real stuff) and after it cools it actually smells like the stuff you buy!

    Combine in saucepan:1 cup of flour,1/4 cup of salt and 1 tsp. cream of tartar

    Add and whisk till smooth:1 cup of water and drops of food coloring(i usually use 6 or 7 drops but its all personal preference)

    Cook over medium heat till nearly set

    Add : 1Tbsp imitation vanilla extract-stir till blended

    remove from heat-knead when cool

    store in Ziploc bag or air tight container

    2 c. flour

    1tsp. cream of tartar

    1/2 c. salt

    2c. cold water

    1 T. oil

    food coloring of choice

    Mix, flour, salt and cream of tartar in bowl. Add oil, water and food coloring. Stir until smooth. Place in pan and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
