Ingredients

2 cups water
2 ½ cups white flour
½ cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
2 (0.13 ounce) packages unsweetened, fruit-flavored soft drink mix (such as KOOL-AID®)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat and set aside.
Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, and soft drink mix together in a large bowl; stir vegetable oil into flour mixture. Add hot water and continue stirring until dough comes together.
When dough is cool enough to handle, turn it onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Store unused portions in refrigerator.

Tips

You may want to wear rubber gloves while kneading.
