Cornflour Dough (No Cooking)

Hey there,
 Today I am going to tell you, how to make cornflour dough. It is a non-cook dough and it is the easiest dough as far as I know. You can make anything out of it. It dries quickly and stay good for a long time. Some people complain about mold growth in the cornflour dough but if you add lemon juice in it, it will prevent from mold growth.

Okay so things you are going to need are :

1. Cornflour 6 tablespoons
2. German Glue or White Glue 4 Tablespoons
3. Petroleum Jelly/ Glycerin 1 tablespoon
4. Lemon Few drops

Alright the process is simple.  Take a plate or tray in which you can knead the dough. Make sure it is dry. Take cornflour and German glue in the specified quantity. Add lemon juice. (No seeds of course). You can either add petroleum jelly or glycerin.  Both works fine. Remember you are kneading the dough with the glue not with petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly only keeps it soft but the right texture of the dough depends on the proper kneading and right quantity of glue and cornflour. Keep kneading until the dough is non-sticky and is expanding without cracking.  

Tips:

• Moist your hands with petroleum jelly before starting kneading. 
• Keep the dough packed in a cling film and air tight container.
• You can use disposable gloves if you want. 

In this way you can make a colorless dough. Now to add colors you will need :

Oil based colors. 

You can either buy a whole set or just buy the basic primary colors and then add them up to make other colors. 

Here I have taken lemon yellow color and a small portion of the colorless dough. Then knead it and let the color mix properly.  Don't forget to apply petroleum jelly on your hands before mixing.

You can mix different colors to make colored doughs.

Tadaah!!! You are done. Now how to make these and other interesting stuff from dough stay tuned to my blog. Dont forget to leave a comment.
