Whisk in milk, and be sure to stir the corners well, so the flour doesn't clump and get stuck to the bottom. - 3. Stir yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Cover container & store on your counter.
  2. Days 2-4 : stir the mixture once per day
  3. Day 5: - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir in 1 cup of each:; sugar, flour & milk into the starter. (To make this part easier, I just separated my sugar & flour in sandwich bags for both feedings & measured my milk as needed) Cover loosely & store back on the counter.
  4. Days 6-9: stir the mixture once per day
  5. Day 10: LAST FEEDING DAY - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup of each (sugar, flour & milk into starter). Cover loosely & store on the counter. - - 2.
