Ol' Coot's Sourdough Starter

[Grimm]

I found this email from Ol' Coot and thought I'd share. I have a jar of Ol' Coot in my fridge I have been using.

2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons bread yeast
1 ta 2 teaspoons a sugar

Mix yeast inta water an let it set fer say 1/2 hour.
Add ta all them dry ingriedients an stir real well.

I keep mine in a old glass jar, so after mixin I put it in the jar, cover with a dish cloth an let it work fer at least a couple a days. Stir it lots. It should start bubblin an get a funny lookin liquid on top as it works up.

After a couple a days ya can put the lid on yer jar loose, an store it in the fridge. Use it at least ever two weeks. Ifin ya take a cup a starter out, add back a cup a flour an a cup a water. Stir well an it will keep workin on its own. Ever once in awhile ya can give it a teaspoon a sugar fer a boost.

I always imagined that he spoke the same way that he wrote. Thank you for keeping his contributions going, as well as Machinist's stories.

I have been enjoying the bread his starter has helped make so I figured he needed it posted for all to share.
