I use a 1 quart thermos coffee server. Here's what you do…
Makes 1 quart.
1. Buy a small cup of your favorite yogurt that has live organisms to use for culture.
2. Heat 3 cups of milk to near boiling. Put the lid on to let it cool down to about 104 degrees. Feels a little warmer than body temperature. Never too hot, it will kill your organisms.
3. Put the cup of yogurt into the warm milk, stir well.
4. Pour into your thermos, cap and let sit for 8-12 hours. It gets firmer and more acidic over time. (I like it at 8 hrs, mild and runny))
5. Pour your yogurt into a quart jar with tight cover. Add sweetner, fruit, flavoring to suit. I like a squirt of stevia (natural sweetner) and a teaspoon of vanilla. Cap and gently shake. Refrigerate. Serve over granola…I never get tired of it! Yum!
Tips:
–Don't use aluminum pans, utensils, or storage containers for yogurt, it's slightly acidic.
–Use very clean thermos, and start each batch with a purchased yoghurt cup. Wild yeast and bacteria from the environment can easily contaminate it and you'll end up with sour milk.

The recipe is correct as written. It's whole wheat flour.

I made it again and left out the honey and the oil, and added 1/3 cup each of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and ground flax seeds. Then toasted it as directed and it has the crispy consistency
I was looking for. I don't add honey when I'm eating it, but add fruit instead — grapes are wonderful with it especially in the fall.

I whisk 3 egg whites with 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup and mix it all together – it seems to do the trick!
