On Day 1 of making your sourdough starter, it will appear more as a dough then as a batter. This first feeding with the whole wheat flour is to provide proper nutrients for the wild yeast to take hold of. As you maintain your starter and begin to feed it some All Purpose Flour, it will start to become more of the consistency of a muffin batter. Then as it bubbles and ferments it will think out to be like a pancake batter.
