Original Instructions:
o Keep only in a ceramic bowl, covered.
o Never refrigerate.
o Stir daily.
o Feed every five days with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and
1 cup milk.
Split into four, bake one part, keep one part, and give two
to friends.
A quick calculation indicates that in 160 days (32
replications) every person on the planet will have some
muffin starter. And it will take a lot of flour to feed all
of those.
RELAXED INSTRUCTIONS
o Keep in a covered bowl. I transfer it to a clean bowl
every month or so, usually when I'm baking. Mine sits
on top of the microwave
o Refrigeration will slow down the starter, usually a
good idea. Freezing for over a month will kill it. I
refrigerate the starter when I go away for more than a
weekend.
o Stir daily.
o When it looks thin and watery, or smells of alcohol, or
you want to bake with it, feed with: 1/2 cup flour, 1/2
cup sugar and 1/2 cup milk.
It's okay to feed it and not bake immediately, but it really
should be split between every two feedings. The objective
is to keep the yeast in the starter reproducing, as opposed
to fermenting
