"Koldskål" - Frigid Buttermilk
Old country dessert - and National dish
 
 
Frigid Buttermilk (Koldskål) appeared in the Danish households - as an every day dish - when buttermilk became common in Denmark in the early 1900s - and was eaten chilled most days during the summer - as a dessert or milky drink. In Denmark it is a must to serve "Koldskål" with crispy cookies “Kammerjunkere” - (rusk biscuits) - during the summer months and season. Absolutely no Danish summer - without "Koldskål" - or Frigid Buttermilk.
