Cream of tartar in Hungarian??

[pippy_gabby]

Hello :)

Can anyone tell me what "cream of tartar" is in Hungarian?? Also where I might be able to get it?

I would like to make some playdough for my daughter and most recipes require cream of tartar. Also if anyone can recommend a good (long lasting, non-sticky) playdough recipe that they have found successful. Please share.

Thank you in advance :)

I have had great success with the first recipe on this website:
http://www.momswhothink.com/preschool/playdough-recipe.html
(it also calls for cream of tartar).

I haven't yet bought it in Hungary, as I brought some from the USA. My
friend told me it would be " tisztított borkő" or just " borkő" and
you can find it in bio shops. Culinaris also has it:

Enjoy!!

I use this recipe from Martha Stewart, and substitute citric acid for cream of tartar:

Use the lowest possible heat on your stove and it becomes extremely hard to stir once the ingredients set. I use a bit more (just a few drops) extra oil if it is really sticky.

Citric acid (citromsav) is available from the pharmacy and also among spices in large supermarkets.

I make half the quantity given in the recipe, and it works great, keeps fresh for weeks in an airtight container, but dries hard in two days if you leave it out.

Hi Gabi, i also substitute it with citrus acid "citromsav" and it works great. The playdoh lasts for months and remains soft, i store it in an airtight contain in the fridge.

Borkosav seems to work the same for playdough. Dont cook with it though, it will make your cookies taste oddly sour. You can buy it everywhere ithink, like spar etc.

We were just at an event and they made play dough with equal amounts salt and flour, a bit of water, and paint for color.  It worked just fine.  So cream of tartar, no oil, no heating the water.

And actually, for kids under two just flour and oil works very well, no salt to worry about them eating and doesnt dry out their hands. And easy to squish. Gabi, let me know if you want a playdough date!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful advice!!!!! We did make some playdough today I used the citric acid (citromsav) and it was a great new texture for my daughter, it kept us entertained for quiet some time. However, I did notice that my hands were kinda dry after all that play. So I like the idea of only flour and oil (and water probably??). YES Deidre, we would love a playdough date :D
