      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      1 pk Fresh or dried yeast 
    1/4 c  Tap water, 
           -in a 1 cup measure 
    1/4 ts Sugar 
      1 c  All-purpose flour 
      1 c  Water, 
           -droplets more if needed 
  
  Crumble or sprinkle the yeast over the water in the measure, whisk in the 
  sugar, and let rise for several minutes until it begins to foam. Whisk it 
  again, then scrape into a 2 quart glass or plastic container. Whisk in the 
  cup of flour, then the water, to make a mixture the consistency of pancake 
  batter. Set uncovered at room temperature for several hours, until it foams 
  and produces bit heavy bubbles. Stir it up, and leave overnight. May be 
  used in place of the Silverton starter in any of her recipes. 
   
  AHEAD OF TIME NOTE: If not to be used the next day, cover and refrigerate. 
  The batter will gradually turn into a sourdough; feed it and treat it in 
  the same way as the finished Silverton starter. From: Richard Taylor
