Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c milk
2 c all-purpose flour -- sifted

Pour milk into a glass or ceramic bowl and cover bowl with
cheesecloth. Let stand in the outdoors for 1 day. Stir in flour and
re-cover bowl with cheesecloth. Place outside for 2 days. Place bowl
in a sunny spot indoors and allow to stand until mixture bubbles and
starts to sour, about 2 days. Spoon into a quart jar with a screw cap
and store in refrigerator at least 1 day before using. (If top of
starter should start to dry out at any time during this process, stir
in a little lukewarm water.) When you remove 1 1/2 c of sourdough
starter, simply combine 3/4 c milk and 3/4 c flour and stir into jar.
Cover jar with cheesecloth and place in suny spot for 1 day. Remove
cheesecloth; cover jar and return to refrigerator.
