Martin, Stras burg, for sending his grandmother’s recipe. She would be 114 if she were still alive. Thomas is on the guide staff at Landis Valley Museum where he does open hearth cooking and bake oven baking. He writes that "clabbered" milk is thick sour milk. During the 18th and 19th centuries, English-speaking people called it "clabber” or bonnie clabber,” whereas Pennsylvania German people called it dicke millich or thick milk. Raw milk was let set at room temperature and in a day or two, it was thickened and sour. Thick milk cannot be made this way unless you have access to fresh raw milk (it is not recom mended for food safety) but cultured buttermilk may be substi tuted for it. 1 cup sugar 1 cup cream 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup molasses 2 cups thick milk (buttermilk) 2 eggs A little nutmeg Mix sugar and flour, add molasses and the well-beaten eggs.
