1. 1

   TO MAKE THE STARTER: Stir cornmeal and sugar blend. Warm milk and mix with cornmeal mixture. Set in a warm spot for 24 hours to allow fermentation. The starter should then have expanded and have a nice odor. If the mix is not light and bubbly, give it another 24 hours or add half a cup of your sourdough starter and set aside in a warm spot for an additional 12 hours. It must be kept warm at all times.

2. 2

   TO MAKE THE BREAD: Pour complete starter, buttermilk, sugar, salt and 3 cups of the flour into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap, and let ferment an additional 3 to 4 hours, sometimes longer if the area is cool. When it is light and bubbly, add remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
