Sourdough starters (basic)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Water
1 cup Flour
4 tablespoons Milk; (or buttermilk)
2 tablespoons Sugar

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl and allow to stand in a warm place for a few days (or maybe a week). The starter will smell wonderfully sour and be about the consistancy of pancake batter when the fermentation gets going.

To feed my starter, I always add equal parts of milk and flour along with a "scoop" of sugar (about ¼ cup per cup of milk and flour). I find that it is the sugar that really determines how quickly the starter recovers after a feeding.
