Method
Measure the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil into a large bowl and mix well.
Add the food colouring to the boiling water. Note: some natural colours can be quite faint, you can always add more during the kneading process.
Slowly add the water to the dry mixture, stirring all the time.
Once cool, knead the dough onto a floured surface until no longer sticky
Store in an airtight container. To extend its life in the warmer months, pop it in the fridge.
