Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2cupsFlour, unbleached
;Water, to make thick batter

Directions

Mix flour and water to make a thick batter. Let stand uncovered for four or five days, or until it begins working. This basic recipe requires a carefully scalded container.

VARIATION: Use milk instead of water to make the recipe.

NOTE:

All containers for starters not using yeast must be carefully scalded before use. If you are careless or do not scald them the starter will fail.
