Before feeding, inspect your sourdough starter. If it has any orange or pink streaks, or anything fuzzy/moldy, it has developed bad bacteria and must be thrown away. A healthy starter should smell like bread or yeast.
Discard about half of your active sourdough starter. You should be left with approximately 1/4 cup.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the jar with the remaining starter.
Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to the jar.
Using a spatula or spoon, stir everything together thoroughly until no dry flour remains. Scrape down the sides of the jar to incorporate all the ingredients.
Wipe the rim of the jar clean. Place the jar on a small plate to catch any potential overflow as the starter becomes active and rises.
