Thanks for posting! Someone had given me a bag of this starter & I kept it going for a while before finally using it all up in one big baking spree! I had the instructions that came with the original bag, but not the recipe for the starter to restart it! ;) So glad to find it here.....my kids have been asking me to make it again soon!
