Recipe for baking soda dough.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/4 cup water
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a pot and heat on medium heat. Constantly stir the ingredients until the mixture begins to thicken and resemble mashed potatoes. It will take several minutes to thicken.
When the mixture looks like mashed potatoes, scoop it out onto a Silpat mat or parchment paper to cool down. Cover it with a damp cloth.
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, you can roll it out to approximately 1/4″ thickness and use cookie cutters, stamps, shape by hand, or whatever method you want to use to decorate your cut-outs.
Bake at 175F for 45 minutes to an hour. Baking will make the dough turn a slightly tan color.
Let the dough cool and you’re ready to decorate.
Notes
Through feedback, it’s best to try to get the dough an even thickness. This will ensure the dough will dry out evenly when baked and will help prevent uneven discoloring of the dough.
