mix flour and water and salt (approx 4 oz salt to 1lb flour should be fine) to a stiff dough, mould and dry. The salt is there simply to stop mould.

If you don't intend to keep the glandes around for weeks at a time, or don't mind them going a bit greeen - leave the salt out. The glande is far more enviromentally friendly without the salt.

Strong bread flour will make tougher glandes, but knead it longer.

As for the sand glandes, what are you moulding them with ?

If you want to bake them, that I am sure will be fine as well. Coenie
