About the dish

The "fine" version of sour milk soup, liaisoned with egg yolks and butter — party food compared to the simple sour milk soups Erken describes right afterward.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Stir out the flour

    Stir the wheat flour smooth with the sweet milk.

  2. 2

    Mix and boil

    Add the sour milk and the butter. Whisk the soup over the heat until it boils.

  3. 3

    Liaison with egg yolks

    Whisk the egg yolks and sugar well together in the soup tureen, and pour the hot soup in while stirring vigorously.

  4. 4

    Season and serve

    Season with more sugar, and optionally a few drops of citric acid if you want the soup tangier. Served cold or warm with small rusks.
