2 tb Natural
plain yogurt
1 c Low fat
milk
1 c White flour
Heat milk to
100F on thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in
yoghurt. Pour
into scalded glass jar or bowl, cover with plastic and
place in a warm
location for 18 hrs. Consistency will be like thin
yoghurt. Stir
in flour until well blended, cover again with plastic
and pierce with
fork to release gases. Place in a warm draft-free
location at
an even 85F for 2 days; stir several times each day. It
should have
a strong sourdough smell and show bubbles. Refrigerate
until ready
to use. When replenishing starter, add lukewarm milk
instead of water.
