List of Ingredients




The Starter

1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour

Combine the ingredients in a large deep glass or plastic container. If the container has a lid, leave is slightly ajar or place a piece of cheesecloth over the container and secure with a rubber band. Store at room temperature. Stir every day for 17 days. On the 18th day do nothing. On days 19, 20 and 21 stir. On day 22, stir and add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir again. On days 23, 24, 25 and 26 stir. On day 27 add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir. You should now have about 4 cups of starter. Give 2 friends each 1 cup and keep 2 cups for yourself. Use 1 of the two cups in the Amish Friendship Bread recipe and use the other to keep the starter going.

When you give the starter away include these instructions:

Keeping a starter going: Do not refrigerate and do not use a metal spoon when stirring the starter. On day 1 (the day you receive the starter), do nothing. On days 2, 3 and 4 stir. On day 5 stir in 1 cup of flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Pour mixture into large glass mixing bowl, cover lightly. The mixture will rise. On days 6, 7, 8 and 9 stir. On day 10 stir and add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir. Give 2 friends each 1 cup. Keep for yourself 1 cup to make Friendship Bread and one cup to keep starter going.
