Homemade playdough problem

Question

I tried the playdough recipe on my corn starch container. I had to make it on the stove top. I followed the directions exactly but its still too sticky to use for play after cooling. I tried adding a little more corn starch and kneaded it like the directions said but its not helping. Does anyone have experience witht his type of play clay? any ideas on how I can fix it? I do have a different recipe I usually use with flour and it doesn't involved cooking, so I might have to make that instead.

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem. We added more flour to ours and it worked. Personally I wouldnt add too much more liquid.

Answer 2

Just keep kneading in the extra cornstarch. Thus kind of dough is usually softer than the uncooked one but it is also smoother. It also stiffens as it cools.
