1 c. flour
1 c. water
1/2 c. salt

Thoroughly mix together preceeding ingredients.
Stir constantly over medium heat until mixture pulls away from sides of pan.

(You may add a few drops of oil of wintergreen or cinnamon to give a pleasant aroma, but only if the children understand it's not to eat!)
