The first day designed just for homeschoolers took place on Friday,
June 19, 2009, at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. Students and
their accompanying adults took part in a variety of activities,
ranging from making herb satchels to learning about gardening
to assisting the historic cook (that’d be ME) whip up some grub.
For information on future Homeschooler Days, contact the Wyckoff
Museum at (718) 629-5400 and speak to Shirley. Or go to the website:

Now, on to the receipts!
===============================
CAROLINA’S BISCUITS
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sour milk
First, create sour milk by adding 3/4 Tablespoon of vinegar to milk; set aside.
Mix together salt, soda, and flour.
Cut butter into flour, until butter disappears.
Add sour milk to flour; stir.
Turn out dough onto a floured board; pat out flat to about 1/4 thickness;
cut out biscuits.
Bake in 350 oven for about 20 minutes.

CHICKEN POTTAGE
1 whole chicken (size depends on number of people you intend
to serve; I like to use cornish game hens; chicken parts can also
be used)
Assorted vegetables, cut into small pieces
Salt & Pepper
Boil whole chicken in a large pot.
When chicken meat begins to fall off the bone,
remove from fire, take out chicken, and de-bone it.
Put meat back in pot with broth.
Cut and add vegetables.
Add pepper & salt to taste.
Cook until veggies are tender.
Serve.
