To Make a Starter Batch

If you ever just want to make a starter batch, simply add the following in to a one-gallon Ziploc bag:

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk

Squish to mix, and consider yourself at the Day One step above. Then you will be adding another cup each of the ingredients on day 6. Then on day 10, upon adding another cup each of the ingredients, you should have three 1 cup starters, and then your 1 cup starter as well. I am still experimenting with the numbers... so if you figure out how to actually make a starter.. let me know...
