Herman Starter and Coffeecake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




Herman Starter
1 package active dry yeast
2 C. lukewarm water
2 C. flour

In a large glass jar or crockery pot, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. If water is too hot it will kill the yeast. Add flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let set at room temperature for 48 hours. Makes 2 cups of starter. Use 1 cup to start feeding Herman and find a good house or friend for the second cup.

Care and feeding of starter:
Keep Herman in a large covered container in the refrigerator. Stir once a day. On the first and fifth days feed with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour. On the 10th day use Herman to prepare cake. By that time Herman will have grown to 4 cups. Use 2 cups for baking, 1 cup of starting another 10-day cycle yourself and 1 cup for a friend.
