Sourdough Starter

 
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
Place milk in a gallon jar. Allow to stand in a warm place for 24 hours. Cover with a thin cloth.

At the end of 24 hours, stir. Add yeast and flour. Stir well. Leave, covered, for 2 to 5 days or until sour and bubbly. The more days, the richer the sour smell and taste. Take 1 cup out to use, give away, or throw away. Refrigerate the rest of the starter. Always use a wooden spoon for stirring and mixing and glass, enamelware, or ceramic for starter and mixing ingredients in making dough.
