Batter

Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula. This is now your starter to share. Take 3 large zip lock bags and place 1 cup of your starter in each bag. Keep one for yourself, give the other two to friends with the instructions. Still on day 10, to the batter remaining in the bowl add:
Recipe
1 cup of oil
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large box of vanilla pudding
2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Pour into two large well greased and sugared (you can use cinnamon sugar) loaf pans. Bake at 325° for one hour. You can add 1 cup of chopped nuts and 1/2 cups of raisins.
We have experimented with different flavorings and fruits with success. The
starter can be frozen but must be brought back to room temperature before
proceeding with day 1 or day 6.
