Danish Cold Buttermilk Soup (Koldskål)
Old-fashioned and traditional recipe for Danish Koldskaal (Cold Bowl). This recipe is based on a few and simple ingredients just like it was made in the old days. Perfect for a hot sommer
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 liter plain yogurt (~3.5% fat) (1/4 gal)
- 1 liter buttermilk (1/4 gal)
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 1 vanilla bean + 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Use a hand mixer to whisk the egg yolks and sugar into a light and fluffy mixture.
- Scrape out the vanilla seeds from the vanilla bean. We have made a simple step-by-step guide how to do this. Mix the vanilla seeds with one tablespoon of sugar.
- Whisk the vanilla seed together with the egg yolks.
- Whisk the yogurt with the egg yolks. Add the yogurt in 3-4 steps and whisk well in between each step.
- Finally add the buttermilk and mix it well together. Flavor with lemon juice.
- Keep the buttermilk soup/Koldskål in the fridge. You can leave the empty vanilla beans in the bowl - it still has much great flavor.
Notes
