The Sourdough Starter. It’s Alive!

The Sourdough Starter. It’s Alive! It’s bubbling and starting to develop a nice tart smell.

The sourdough starter was sent dried in a small zip lock bag. The instructions are to resuscitate it with 1/2 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of flour the first and second days to bring it back to life. Now that it is active, I will pull off one cup of the starter and added 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup flour each day. It should be active enough to make bread in 2-3 more days. Meanwhile, I am going to make a few pancakes with the batter I pull off.
