Tartlet dough

Ingredients

• 275 g of wheat flour (500 ml or 2 cups)
• 300 g of salt (250ml or 1 cup)
• 250 ml of water (250 g or 1 cup)
• 12 grams of cooking oil paint (approximately 1 tablespoon or 15 ml)
• 900 g of wheat flour
• 1000 g of salt
• 830 ml of water
• 35 ml of cooking oil paint (approximately 3 1/2 tablespoons)
• 500 g of flour
• 500 g of salt
• 250 ml of water
• 25 ml of cooking oil paint (approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 240 g of flour
• 120 ml of water
• 45 ml of cooking oil paint (approximately 3 tablespoons)
• Possible glaze color

Combine the ingredients.

The consistency can be adjusted by changing the ratio of liquid ingredients (water) to solid ingredients (salt and flour).

If the dough is sticky, add more flour.

To check if the consistency is correct, try to form a ball of dough.

The ball must be able to remain stable for 2 minutes without the dough deforming.

If you wish, you can also add color, for example, food coloring.

Mix the dough and use it to create shapes, molds, etc.

Once the figures have taken shape, the clay can be dried for a longer period (several days) at room temperature to harden the figure.

The drying process can be sped up by heating the figurines to a temperature of around 70-80 °C until they are completely dry, but this could cause the clay to crack.

The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the figurines.

Once the dough is dry, it can potentially be painted.

Mix the flour (and optionally, glitter) with the 3 tablespoons of edible oil paint in a large container.

Add a few drops of food coloring to the water.

Combine the dry and wet ingredients, then begin kneading by hand.

If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little water, but very gradually.

Mix for a few minutes until the mixture is no longer sticky.

It is very important that the mixture is well-homogenous in order to achieve a good result.
