Comments: |
This is the "starter" similar to sourdough, or sponge (known by different names by region.) This is an old-fashioned yeast, brought to and across this country by immigrants and pioneers. It is kept out at room temperature for those first ten days. Just be sure to keep everything clean; crock, spoons, anything that comes into contact with your starter. If the mixture turns orange or blue, or develops anything other than a yeast smell, discard and start again.
Afterward, keep tightly covered in refrigerator.
After each use, feed (refresh) starter with:
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
Leave out for a few hours, return to refrigerator until next time.
