Total Calories: 120

1 1/4 cups Original Bisquick®
1/4 cup salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon food coloring

1. Mix Bisquick, salt and cream of tartar in 4-cup microwavable measuring cup. Mix water and food color. Stir colored water into dry mixture, a little at a time, until all liquid is added.

2. Microwave uncovered on High 1 minute. Scrape mixture from side of cup and stir. Microwave uncovered 2 to 3 minutes longer, stirring every minute, until mixture almost forms a ball. Let dough stand uncovered about 3 minutes.

3. Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick. Shape into a ball knead about 1 minute or until smooth. (If dough is sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons Bisquick.) Cool 15 minutes. Use dough to make shapes and designs. Store dough in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

Easy Fun Dough can also be baked like cookie dough to make holiday ornaments. Just follow these directions:

1. Heat oven to 225°. After kneading and cooling dough, roll dough about 1/8 inch thick on surface sprinkled with Bisquick. Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters. Or instead of rolling dough, shape dough into desired shapes. Make a hole in top of each ornament using end of plastic straw. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

2. Bake 1 hour. Turn ornaments over. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer or until ornaments sound brittle when tapped.

3. Remove ornaments from cookie sheet with spatula to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Tie ribbon or yarn through hole.

HIGH ALTITUDE (3500 to 6500 feet): No changes.

BETTY'S TIP: To make fun designs and shapes, try using different gadgets, such as pinking shears, cookie cutters, garlic press and pizza roller.
