The Mom I Want to Be

3/4c water

1/2c cornstarch

1tsp vegetable oil

1c clean dry sand

 

Bring water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, add oil and cornstarch – it will foam slightly Stir hard until foam subsides. Put back on (medium) heat for about a minute, stirring constantly until cornstarch thickens and is mostly incorporated. Texture should resemble watery mashed potato. Cool 10 minutes. Using hands mix in sand. Blend well and knead until dough forms. Enjoy! This dough can be baked at 120 degrees for about 1 hour.
