Hi, Diane! It sounds like you got a bit too much flour in your cup when measuring. If you have access to a kitchen scale that measures in grams, that's definitely the most accurate! If you don't, though, that's okay. Using the method outlined in our How to Measure Flour guide can help you get the correct amount of flour in your cup each time. In the meantime, feel free to add a bit more water to your starter until it's about the consistency of pancake batter. You've got this!
