Hurricane Advice

[Ursuline Chick]

Watching TV news on Hurricane with almond, poppy seed muffin (No I didn't take time to bake muffins this morning LOL) with a cup of coffee and Kahlua. Other than this hoe Nate becoming a cat 2 by landfall all is well. May well lose power later and it may not come back for a day or two (so they are telling us). With that said if you stop hearing from me, it's not because I don't like you anymore and don't want to play. And I promise it is not because I am dead! LOL

Update, just got first feeder band, DH was under the house with the chickens, to set up roosting poles, so they are out of the wind and rain. DH came in soaked to the bone saying he should have known the sky was going to open up when all the chickens decided to go under the house with him.

I posted a recipe to start your own sourdough from scratch on our home bakers thread decided to also post here


Sour Dough Starter from Scratch
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk ( skim, regular or buttermilk) 1/2 cup unbleached flour
Directions
1. Mix the milk and yogurt together in a glass or pottery container (Do not use metal).
2. Place lid on it, but don't seal it (sealed starters have been known to explode).
3. Put mixture in a warm place (80 to 90 degrees) for about 24 hours.
4. The yogurt and milk will separate forming a large curd, when adding the flour just stir it all back together.
5. Add the flour stir, and put back in warm place for 3 to 5 days; stirring daily.
6. It will bubble and have the odor of fermentation it is ready to use.
7. Remember the starter is a living thing and needs to be fed and fed frequently when an infant.
8. I feed the "infant" weekly by placing it on the counter for several hours and allowing it to come to room temperature.
9. Then remove 1/2 cup starter, discarding the remainder.
10. Feed the 1/2 cup with equal amounts of milk (buttermilk will produce a stronger sour taste) and unbleached flour; i.e. 1 cup flour and 1 cup milk plus 1/2 cup of starter.
11. If you would like, you can feed the starter with 1/3 cup dry milk powder and 2/3 cup bottled water in place of the 1 cup milk.
