How to make sourdough starter:

Prepare the starter in a glass, pottery or plastic container. Store the covered container in the refrigerator when starter is done. The starter may smell quite sour, and a liquid may form on its surface, but this is normal. Stir the starter before each use. After using the starter, be sure 1 cup is left in container. If you want to keep starter indefinitely, add 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup sugar to this remaining starter every week to 10 days. Do not use starter for 24 hours after feeding it.
