- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon — divided
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup starter
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1 cup + 4 teaspoons sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional: 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Day 1:
- Make your starter: Stir yeast into warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Whisk sugar and flour in a 2 Qt container (or I’ve heard you can use a ziploc bag, but we always used a bowl). Whisk in milk. Be sure to stir the corners – the flour will get clumpy and stuck if you’re not careful.
- Stir the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Cover loosely and store on the counter.
Days 2-4 :Stir the mixture once per day.
Day 5:
- Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup each sugar, flour, and milk into the starter. Cover loosely and store on the counter.
Days 6-9: Stir the mixture once per day.
