We just used whatever was on hand.So this time it was cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger, and nutmeg.

I don’t think the amount you use really matters.. We mixed the salt and the water first.Then put it on the stove on medium-ish heat and gradually added the spicy cornstarch.We kept heating and stirring until it looked like dough.

It rolls out easily and doesn’t get sticky at all.
