clabber

Thickened sour milk

Clabber is milk that has soured and thickened naturally, forming soft curds.

Common in Southern and Appalachian cooking, it was traditionally eaten with sugar or used in baking before refrigeration made fresh milk reliably available.

The verb means to curdle: The milk clabbered in the heat.
