Victorian Salt Clay

An Age Old Recipe

Hi!

I love your site, especially the clay section. I've been reading your clay recipes and I would definitely try one of them.

I also saw where you got the Victorian Salt Clay recipe.

Cheers!

Well some things never change.

The ingredients at Pioneer Thinking are exactly the same as the recipe I used when I was teaching elementary school twenty-five years ago and have kept on an index card in my recipe box all these years.

When I was a kid (some fifty years ago), we simply called it salt clay.

My two sisters and I mixed salt clay in the kitchen without even measuring. We stored bags of it in the refrigerator.

Invariably, one of our three brothers would go scrounging in the fridge for a snack and take a bite of the clay dough.

I have no idea what they thought it was going to taste like or why the red clay might taste better than the green they ate last week; but boys will be boys.

As for this classic recipe - hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the site ;-)
