To Make the Starter: Mix ingredients in plastic or glass container with a loose fitting lid. Do not use metal bowls or containers. Do not cover tightly. Let mixture stand in a warm place overnight. Then refrigerate, loosely covered, and stir once each day. On the fifth day, feed with 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Continue to stir each day. On the 10th day, take out the starter you need for recipes, or for giving to a friend, but always save 1 cup for feeding. Feed the cup you save with the same ingredients you fed the batter on the fifth day.
Coffee Cake
Nuts, raisins, and/or dried fruits of your choice - up to a total of 2 cups. Chopped apples are good. You can use canned fruit such as peaches or pineapple - drained well. You can use 2 or 3 chopped bananas mixed into the batter. Try apple or cherry or other pie filling swirled through the batter. (Be careful not to swirl deep enough to scrape bottom of place - else the cake may stick.)
Mix all ingredients - except fruit and nuts - on medium speed until well blended. Fold in fruits or nuts. Pour into well greased and floured 9x13-inch pan. Before baking, add topping.
Topping Mix ingredients and sprinkle over cake batter; swirl through top lightly with fork or spoon. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Do not over bake. Add glaze, if desired.
Glaze Combine in saucepan and bring to boil. Boil slowly for 5 minutes. Drizzle over cake while cake is still warm. ** Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal -- Food section -- : 29 November 1995 **
