I followed the instructions and\r\nthe starter began to work. I would start by removing the Sourdough Starter from the glass\r\njar in the refrigerator, add warm water and 2 cups of flour. Put it in a warm spot with a towel\r\nover the bowl. I would do this at night so the starter could do it's work, overnight.\r\nThe next morning that lumpy mess that I had left covered was silky smooth and ready to\r\nget with the process. First things first. I removed one cup of the starter and put it back into \r\nthe glass jar and place in the refrigerator.\r\nNow bear in mind that the remaining concoction was still working, so if I was making Sourdough\r\nPancakes, I would add a little baking soda and sugar. It would foam and was ready.\r\nI'll spare you the details, in this writing.\r\nI have given a cup of Sourdough Starter to many friends over the years.
