I found this in my grandmother's recipes from the cookbooks I inherited from her. I'll type it out for you exactly as she had it, although I've done it in a Ziploc bag before too. I probably will use a Ziploc bag when I start this. I know reading this it actually doesn't make complete sense, so I'll fill in the holes at the bottom. I just thought it was so cute the way it was and was SO my Mama B.

Now to fill in the holes:
1. Don't use a metal bowl either. You could just use a large Ziploc bag. That way you can just shake the Ziploc bag instead of stirring it everyday with a wooden spoon.
2. On DAY 1, here's the mix:
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 C warm water
1 C flour
1 C sugar
1 C milk
3. If using Ziploc bag(s) you may have to let the air out of it daily.
4. Instead of containers on DAY 10, you could just do gallon sized Ziploc bags.
4. Instead of containers on DAY 10, you could just do gallon sized Ziploc bags.
5. Make sure to give this recipe or this link to your friends when you give them the starter so they know what to do.
6. Store the starters in the refrigerator until you give your friends the starter or until you're ready to start the process all over again.
