When using the starter, remove 2 cups to use for the pancakes. Add 2 cups flour and 2 more cups warm water to the starter. Cover and refrigerate. If you don't use your starter for more than 3 days, it needs to be fed. Remove 1 cup and discard. Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water, cover and refrigerate.

Note: Never place the starter in a container with a tightly closing lid. The pressure from the gases could cause the container to explode. It is best kept in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.
