This is the recipe I used, I found it online I looked up several but this was the main recipe that kept showing up over and over.
In a non metal bowl mix 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour, mix with a non metal spoon to get the lumps out.
Pour mixture into a gallon size ziplock bag that is your day one
day 1. you just made your starter do nothing
day 2. Mush your bag
3. Mush bag
4. Mush bag
5. in a non metal bowl mix 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk and 1 cup of flour mix it well to get out lumps with a non metal spoon or whisk and then pour into your main bag this is called feeding your starter.
Day 6. mush bag
day 7. mush bag
day 8. mush bag
day 9.. yup you guessed it mush bag lol
day 10. Pour the entire contents of the bag into a non metal bowl. Add 1 C sugar, 1 C milk and 1 C flour.
Measure out 4 separate batters of 1 Cup each and place into 4 one gallon size ziplock bags. Keep one of the bags for yourself to keep yours going and with what is left in the bowl you can make a batch of amish cinnamon bread. Give the other 3 bags away to friends . Make sure to print out instructions for them. If its been a couple days make sure to let them know which day the bag is on so they can continue.
here is a great site for some Amish recipes and what to do with your starter in the bowl

Thanks for the recipe!!!! :D I missed this SO much!
I used to get some of this every now and then when I was a kid, but no-one seems to 'do' friendshipbread anymore.. So I was desperate for a starter! ;)
Now my only problem is.. who to give it to.. since no-one has the time anymore to feed it everyday.. *lol*
greetings from the netherlands!
