Whisk it again, then scrape into a 2 quart glass or plastic container. Whisk in the cup of flour, then the water, to make a mixture the consistency of pancake batter. Set uncovered at room temperature for several hours, until it foams and produces bit heavy bubbles. Stir it up, and leave overnight.
