Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 250°F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a ball is formed.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 –8 minutes, or until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
Roll dough 1/4 inch thick and cut out as desired.
Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 3 hour or until firm and lightly golden.

Tip: Use table salt in this dough for a smoother consistency.

To make into a hanging ornament, use a straw or skewer to form a small hole near the top before baking.

This dough can also be used to create simple figurines. Shape as desired and increase baking time to 5 hours.
