  3. Step 3

    Open the package of powdered drink mix and pour it into the flour mixture. Use a variety of drink mixes to make more than one color dough. Use cherry for red, lime for green or grape for purple.

  4. Step 4

    Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mixture. Measure and pour the oil and blend thoroughly. Pour the hot water in. Mix with a spoon until the dough is cool enough to handle.

  5. Step 5
