Koldskål med Kammerjunkere

As a Dane living abroad you have to learn making your own "koldskål" and "kammerjunkere" when the temperature hits 30°C.

"Koldskål" is a refreshing dessert/snack based on butter milk, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and lemon. "Kammerjunkere" are a kind of butter cookies and, along with fresh strawberries or other berries in season, absolutely necessary to complete this dish.

Place the whole eggs in the zink and rinse with boiled water (to remove eventual chances for salmonella infections) and divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Store the whites for other purposes (e.g. meringue) and whip the yolks with the two types of suger until white. Add butter milk and adjust with lemon juice and -zest.
