Creamof Tartar is basically a creamier form of baking powder. It's not essential to use it but it will make the dough much more pliable and wil help it retain the colour better. If you don't have any in your cupboard, use 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and leave the dough to 'steam' in a sealed plastic container. By steam, I mean once removed from microwave, knead quickly and get it into a sealed plastic container or ziplock bag and leave for 10 minutes. It should be ready to use after that. Enjoy!
