Traditional Norwegian Melkeringe / Tradisjonell Melkeringe
A recipe for a traditional Norwegian dessert recipe
found on New Scandinavian Cooking
Andreas Viestad writes: Melkeringe is a sour milk product, which is similar in consistency to pannacotta. In the olden days, melkeringe was made immediately after the cows had been milked, using strained milk which had not had time to cool down. It was poured into a milk ring which was a round, low, wooden container.
It was then set aside to sour at room temperature for approx. 24 hours. At the end of the souring process, the container was chilled at a lower temperature until it was served. It is now more common to make melkeringe using the method I have employed here, i.e. by adding a bacterial culture to the milk.
