  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ⁄4 cup salt
  • 2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1  1 ⁄2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • Place all the dry ingredients in a saucepan and mix until well blended.
  • Mix the vegetable oil and water in a bowl.

  • The dough will start to form quickly. When that happens, place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and begin to knead it for several minutes.
  • The dough will be warm so be careful and don't get burned. Also, don't let the kids touch it at this point because it's hot and may harm little fingers.
  • You want to knead it until the dough is smooth.
  • Place it in an airtight container when you and the kids aren't making cute little gingerbread men with it!
  • It will keep for several months.
