[Sca-cooks] Playdough question was Superheroes

[Audrey Bergeron-Morin]

Can someone tell me what cream of tartar does in that recipe?
I've been wondering that for years...


Sculpt with Klaymates - for Kids
 Kids and parents alike always have fun making Morton
Klaymates, rainy day salt sculpture friends.
 In medium saucepan, mix 1 cup flour, 1/2
cup Morton® Salt, 2 teaspoons cream of
 tartar, 1 cup water, and a few drops of
 food coloring (optional). Cook over medium heat,
 stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick
 and lumpy as it cooks. Cool slightly, then knead
 in 1 or 2 drops of vegetable oil. Store in a
plastic bag. For more brilliant shades, use paste food
colors, available where cake decorating supplies are sold.
NOTE: SALT SCULPTURE IS ART, NOT FOOD. IT IS NOT EDIBLE.
