Recipe(tried): Amish Friendship Bread and Starter
Posted to recipelink.com by Sandy Wells

Starter:

In crock preferably mix
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour

Stir with wooden spoon, cover with plastic wrap and stir daily until day 5, add above proportions again. This gives you the 3 cups of starter to share with your friends. Continue stirring daily with wooden spoon until day 10.

Remove 3 cups of starter for friends and use remainder with:

2/3 cups oil
2 cups flour
1 1/4/ tsp. baking powder
3 eggs (I use duck or goose eggs)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2/ tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Pour into 2 well greased and sugared loaf pans. Also works well with 1 large and 3 small loaf pans. Bake 40-50 min. at 350 degrees. Cool 10 min. before removing from pans.

Be sure and give recipe to your friends when you give them their 1 cup of starter. Enjoy and have fun!!!!
