Starter:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk

Put these ingredients in a large Ziploc bag. Toss the bag on your counter and you are ready to start. Each day for the next ten days, you will do something with the bag. When you finish the starter will be ready. You will need to print the instructions to give to four of your friends along with the starter. Go back to my cookbook to print the instructions without the starter included.
