Line a cookie sheet or plate with wax paper. Pour or spoon some some of your starter (about 1/4 cup) onto the wax paper. Remember not to use metal utensils!!! Spread it thin. Place it somewhere out of the way. Warm (not hot) is best. Allow to dry for a few days. This can take 2 days to a week, depending on your house temperature & humidity. Once your starter is completely dried, you can peel/scrape the dried starter into a jar. Seal tightly. Some people like to store their starter in the freezer, but as long as it's fully dried, you can store it in a dark cool place.
Tomorrow I'll get the first couple of recipes up for you & next week a how-to on revamping your dried starter!
A neighbor friend of ours gave us a dried starter a few years ago. I didn't know what to do with it, so it disappeared. I'm anxious to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI'll get to the part soon (as part of the series) on how to revive a dried starter!
