Granny White  
Sourdough Yogurt Starter  
1
1
2
c milk  
c flour  
T plain yogurt  
Heat milk until it reaches 100F (38C) on a thermometer. Remove  
from heat and stir in yogurt. Port mixture into a clean plastic  
container, cover tightly and let stand in a warm place for 18 to  
2
4 hours. Be sure to punch a small hole in container lid to allow  
gases to escape. Mixture should resemble the consistency of yogurt.  
A curd shold form and the mixture shold not flow readily when the  
container is slightly tilted. If clear liquid rised to the top of  
mixture, simply stir it back in. If liquid or starter turns pink,  
discard mixture and start again.  
After curd has formed, gradually stir 1 cup flour into the starter  
until smoothly blended. Cover tightly and let stand in a warm  
place 85F (30C) until mixture is full of bubbles and has a good  
sour smell, approximately 2 to 5 days. If clear liquid forms on  
top of mixture, stir it back into starter. Each time you use part  
of your starter replenish it with equal amounts of warm milk 100F  
(38C) and flour. Cover and let stand in a warm place several hours  
or overnight until it is full of bubbles. Cover and store in  
refrigerator until needed. Starter should always be at room
