Baking Soda Dough

Baking Soda Dough

Ingredients

  • 2 cups baking soda
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cup water

Directions

Step 1
Combine all the ingredients in a pot and heat on medium heat.
Step 2
Continue to constantly stir the ingredients until the mixture begins to thicken. It will take several minutes to thicken.
Step 3
When the mixture starts to come together and looks like mash potatoes, scoop it out onto a Silpat mat or parchment paper to cool down. Cover it with a damp cloth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Bake at 175F for 45 minutes to an hour. Baking will make the ornaments turn a slightly tan color.
Step 6
Let the dough cool and you're ready to decorate.
