Äggost - the provincial dish of Bohuslän
Äggost is traditionally served on special occasions in Bohuslän with
herring. Although it is equally common as a dessert served with jam these
days. Ideally it should be made in an elaborately carved wooden mould with
holes in it. Tin moulds are commonly used nowadays. The following recipe
is from the café at the Bohuslän
Regional Museum in Uddevalla:
- 4 litres of full fat milk
- 8 eggs
- 4 dl cultured buttermilk or sour milk (no salt added)
- 2 dl of cold water
- 2 dl granulated sugar
Beat the eggs and add the milk and the buttermilk. Pour into a saucepan
and bring to simmer over a low heat, stirring continuously. Do not boil.
When simmering, add the water and remove from the hotplate. Leave for 5
minutes. Line the (wooden) mould with a perforated ladle, adding layers
of sugar. Leave overnight to get rid of the whey ( which can be used for
making bread). Chill. Turn over and serve.
