Baker's Dough

1/2 c. salt
3/4 c. boiling water
2 c. flour
Aluminum foil

Place salt in bowl; pour boiling water over salt and stir. Cool. Add flour all at once and mix well by forming a ball and kneading the dough until it is smooth, soft and workable. Form your shapes (maybe for a Christmas ornament or your name) and bake at 300 to 350 degrees (depending on the thickness of the ornament) for 1 1/2 to 3 hours. You can also let it air-dry, but give it at least two to three days before painting it. Spray after paint dries with polyeurethrane to hold in and keep it shiny.
