Ask the Old Fanner: Many years ago when I was a boy, my
father would refer to a milk drink
he remembered when he was small.
It was called “bonny clabber" and
was great when served cold. Can you
tell me about this and is it available
today under some other name? W. H.,
York, Pa.
Bonny Clabber is simply milk that
has soured until the solids separate
from the water. The drink was made
by beating up this mixture with
sugar and sometimes a dash of nut
meg. We don’t know of its ever hav
ing been made to sell, but folks made
it at home.
Home Hints: Refrigerate onions before chopping them and
you’ll get fewer tears . . . Use an old plastic shower cap to
protect your hair when you paint.
