DAY 5: Add 1 cup each milk, flour, sugar and stir

DAYS 6, 7, and 8: Stir batter each day

DAY 10: Add 1 cup each flour, sugar, milk and stir.

Save 1 cup to begin process all over again OR you can use all 3 cups batter for the recipes at 1 time and when you want to bake these again just start the starter again.
