With fall approching, I can't help but think about pumpkin pie spices. I found this fun recipe for the kids (and the kids at heart) that looked so fun!
- Materials
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Food coloring (we used 6 drops of red and 15 drops of yellow)
- Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients in a nonstick saucepan. Add the oil, water, and food coloring and whisk until smooth. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, cook the mixture over medium heat until it forms a ball, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Turn the dough onto a counter, let it cool slightly, then knead the dough until it has a smooth texture, about 1 minute. The dough will keep up to a week in a ziplock bag.
To make stems, place some pasta (we used fusilli) in a ziplock bag. Add five drops of green food coloring and a teaspoon of water. Seal the bag, then let your tot squish the pasta around until it's tinted. Pour the pasta onto a piece of waxed paper and let it dry for about five minutes before pressing it into your pumpkins.
