DAY 1:

You receive the base. Pour it into a large bowl and stir. Cover it lightly and leave on counter. (If you haven't received base, mix together 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup milk. Start from Day 1 of recipe). DON'T REFRIGERATE!

DAYS 2-4:

Stir one time a day only.

DAY 5:

Add 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix well. Recover after you mix each day.

DAYS 6-9:

Stir 1 time a day only.

DAY 10:

Same as day 5. Mix well.

On day 10, after completing directions, take 3 cups of base out and put in small containers. Give each of the one cup containers to 3 friends with directions. (You can keep one for yourself if you want).

2 cups friendship starter
2/3 c. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder

Beat until smooth. Add any or all of the following: apples, nuts, raisins, rum flavoring or nothing. (Use your imagination!) Bake in greased and floured pan of your choice for 50 minutes at 350°F. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or spread your favorite frosting.

IMPORTANT: This mixture will get bubbly and get a yeasty smell to it. This is normal so don't worry about it.
