What is the quickest non cooking pumpkin play dough recipe?

The recipes I've seen for pumpkin play dough were all cooked recipes, but I would think you could use any uncooked recipe and add orange food coloring (2 parts yellow to one part red) and one small container of pumpkin pie spice, instead of unsweetened kool aid. That would give it the color and scent you want. Here's an uncooked play dough recipe, if you need one:


PLAY DOUGH





2 sm. pkg. Kool-Aid, unsweetened


3 to 3 1/2 c. flour


1/2 c. salt


1 1/2 tbsp. cream of tartar


2 tbsp. oil


2 c. boiling water





Mix Kool-Aid, flour, salt, and cream of tartar in metal or glass bowl. Mix oil and a few drops of food coloring with boiling water. Pour water into flour mixture and blend. Knead until smooth. This play dough will last several months if store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in refrigerator.





Skimp a little on the water and add more as needed. I like to use very warm water and start out with less than recommended and add a little more as I need to.





Cooked recipes come out with a better consistency, but if you're making it with the kids (I like to do that, good measuring activity, and they love it!) it's easier to do the uncooked recipe.What is the quickest non cooking pumpkin play dough recipe?
Another uncooked recipe is:





4 Cups Flour


1 Cup Salt


2 TBS cooking oil





mix all 3 then add 1 to 1 1/2 cup cold water





after mixed put in the fridge for a few hours.





I just add food coloring to the mixture.

  • HELP! I bought Pearl Barley instead of Quick Cooking Barley for a recipe and need to know the difference...?

    ...can you help me?





    My soup recipe calls for 1 qt. (4 cups) water and 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley. Besides the cooking time, what else needs to be adjusted? Thanks!HELP! I bought Pearl Barley instead of Quick Cooking Barley for a recipe and need to know the difference...?
    Pearled barley cooks slower than quick barley. It does not take that much longer. I just made some yesterday. I boiled 1 cup of barley to 2 cups of water. I let the water boil and put it on low fire after it boiled for a few seconds. Took about 30 minutes to cook. Barley is divine!HELP! I bought Pearl Barley instead of Quick Cooking Barley for a recipe and need to know the difference...?
    You could pre-cook your barley separately, as Des has described ( like cooking rice!) and add to your recipe and slightly decreasing the water by maybe 1/2 cup.


    Or follow your normal recipe but using the pearl barley and a little extra water and extending the cooking time to 1/2 hour. And you might want to wait to add the green peppers midway through if you don't want them too mushy.


    Sounds good! I'll have to try it.
    Besides cooking, Pearl Barley is the whole grain (much healthier) and quick cooking is not. Like the difference bwtn brown and white rice.
    Quick cooking is pre cooked a little.

    Does anyone have a recipe for cooked eggnog using can milk?

    The best thing to do id take your eggs or eggyolks and some of the sugar plus a cup or 2 of the mlik product and put in a metal bowl or double boiler and heat it over hot water, just until you see steam rising off the mixture, after it has cooled, best to let it get cool enough to put in the frig, and then add the rest of your mlik products and the flavourings, if your not using alcohol, then add vanilla or rum flavouring or not, nutmeg is my favourite addition just before serving, and to make it frothy, put in a blender and blend a few servings and pour into your bowl or serving vessel to be served from, by cooking the eggs to a temparture of 160' degrees you will effectivly kill and bacteria and chance of spoilage.





    I was a chef for 20 trs in Canada, and we did this many times for partys were the punches and egg nogs were to sit out for periods of time.Does anyone have a recipe for cooked eggnog using can milk?

    I'm a muslim who likes cooking. what can i substitute white wine, red wine etc in recipes with? tq?

    muslims cannot consume any form of alcohol so i'd really like to know what ingredients can i substitute alcohol with when cooking?I'm a muslim who likes cooking. what can i substitute white wine, red wine etc in recipes with? tq?
    Grape juice,


    Vinegar,


    Beef/chicken stock...





    it depends on the recipe too..





    ---I'm a muslim who likes cooking. what can i substitute white wine, red wine etc in recipes with? tq?
    Generally, just use stock





    You can use water or sometimes apple juice or grape juiec under certain circumstances but stock is almost always a suitable replacement





    And contrary to some of the other posters, I would not replace a cup of wine with a cup of vinegar. I love vinegar and use it frequently in cooking but use it sparingly and strategically (not as a replacement for wine).
    It's going to depend on the recipe. Sometimes a little broth will do, at others you might want a real mild vinegar, like rice wine vinegar. Or apple or grape juice. Experiment and see what tastes good in your recipes.





    Good luck!
    Hi there, I would normally used grape juice or ribena cordial diluted with some water for red wine %26amp; vinegar for white wine. Also, there are non-alchoholic wine available. Sometimes I use those too. =O)%26gt;
    The alcohol will boil off during cooking, so it shouldn't be an issue. If you feel its OK to use vinegar (which is wine that has been further soured by bacteria) it should be fine to use wine for cooking.
    You can try red or white grape juice, or chicken broth.





    Doc
    There are alcohol free wines now available that will give you the same flavor.
    IM MUSLIM TOO! I USE STOCKS! MY FAVORITE IS CHICKEN STOCK!
    my wife suggests grape juice, but she wasn't sure. I saw no one answered yet, so figured I'd give a guess.
