Ready In: 18 mins
Serves: 6
Yields: 1 large ziplock bag
Ingredients
- 2 -4 cups flour
- 1 cup salt
- 3 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 herbal tea bags, made with dried berries
- 3 tablespoons faux vanilla
- 2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- You will need 2 bowls; one large microwave safe and one medium plastic. Also, you will need a wooden or silicon spatula.
- In the large bowl mix 2 cups flour, salt, and tartar; set aside.
- In the medium bowl pour in the boiled water and steep tea bags for 5 min's. Next, remove tea bags and add vanilla and oil, stir together gently.
- Combine the tea mix into the flour mixture in thirds, stirring after each addition. *The dough should be almost the consistency of cake batter*
- Place bowl in microwave and cook on High for six, 45 second intervals stirring after each interval or until dough is partially cooked. **CAREFUL IT'S HOT**.
- Add in last 2 cups of flour 1/2 cup at a time (as you may not need all of the flour) Stir until dough is stiff but soft. Carefully knead dough(*careful it's still hot) with hands until flour is incorporated. Let dough cool on counter top for about 3 min's.
- To Test Readiness: Take palm full of dough and knead it in you hands for 30 seconds. Then, flatten it on the counter top -- if it leaves dough behind, add a bit more flour, if it comes off the counter clean it's ready!
- Seal in an air tight container.
