Sprinkle yeast over this and let stand in warm place until doubled in size, about 10 minutes. Mix milk, remaining sugar, flour, and yeast mixture. Place in plastic or glass container about the size of a 5 qt ice cream bucket. Stir, using only a wooden spoon or paddle, as metal retards growth. Cover loosely and let stand in a warm place overnight. The next day, refrigerate. Stir each day with a wooden spoon to retard spoilage. On the 5th day, measure out 1 cup to bake with. Measure out 1 cup for gift. Feed remaining starter 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir well. Refrigerate and stir daily. On the 10th day, measure out 1 cup, if desired, to give to a friend. You should have enough left over to use in a recipe, plus extra to feed as before and refrigerate. Thereafter, use the starter almost daily or as desired, feeding every 5 days. Recipe by Pat Reynolds MMMMM
