Baker'S Clay - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
1 c. salt
1 1/2 c. water

Preparation

Combine ingredients in a bowl.
Mix thoroughly with hands. If dough is too stiff to handle, add more water, a little at a time.
Remove dough from bowl.
Knead for 4 to 5 minutes.
Shape into desired ornaments.
Bake on cookie sheets in preheated 350\u00b0 oven for 1 hour or more, depending on size and thickness of pieces; some may take 2 hours or longer.
Test for doneness with fork or toothpick in thickest part of piece.
If still soft, bake a little longer.
Lift pieces from cookie sheet with spatula. Cool on racks.
When thoroughly cooled, paint or decorate.
Spray finished pieces with a clear fixative when decorated, to prevent softening.
