This mixture seems to make the rounds every so often. There are many good recipes all over the internet to make various things using this starter. It is a lot of fun. If it dies out from neglect and you decide later you want more, here is your recipe.
Starter:
1 cup flour
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 package yeast (or 1 3/4 tsp bulk yeast)
Add on Fifth Day:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
Add on Tenth Day:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
Mix all starter ingredients well and place in medium-sized glass bowl. Cover with a dinner plate so as not to cover too tightly. Let stand overnight in warm place. Stir down each day for 4 days. (Important: Do NOT refrigerate batter at any time.) On the fifth day, add flour, milk and sugar. Stir. Continue to stir down each day until the tenth day. On the tenth day, add flour, milk, sugar and stir. Measure out 3 separate cups of starter. Give 1 cup starter and a copy of instructions to each of 2 friends (or you can simply bake a bunch of items for yourself, the freezer and others). Keep 1 cup as a starter to begin all over again. Use remaining dough to bake breads or streusel - recipe is posted on this blog.
