    2      c             milk
    2      c             all-purpose flour -- sifted
 
 Pour milk into a glass or ceramic bowl and cover bowl with
 cheesecloth. Let stand in the outdoors for 1 day. Stir in flour and
 re-cover bowl with cheesecloth.  Place outside for 2 days.  Place bowl
 in a sunny spot indoors and allow to stand until mixture bubbles and
 starts to sour, about 2 days. Spoon into a quart jar with a screw cap
 and store in refrigerator at least 1 day before using. (If top of
 starter should start to dry out at any time during this process, stir
 in a little lukewarm water.)  When you remove 1 1/2 c of sourdough
 starter, simply combine 3/4 c milk and 3/4 c flour and stir into jar.
 Cover jar with cheesecloth and place in suny spot for 1 day. Remove
 cheesecloth; cover jar and return to refrigerator.
