You can borrow it from Lille library.
The local 'Gageleer' beer is obviously mentioned in it, so here's the recipe.
Sabayon with Kempen regional beer
Ingredients for 4 people
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 half eggcups of beer (best with high fermentation, with a high alcohol content)
- 4 half eggcups of sugar
Preparation (10 mins)
Put the egg yolks in a saucepan. Mix the sugar and beer into the egg yolks. Put the pan on a medium heat and whisk continuously until a frothy sabayon forms. You can serve the sabayon on its own or as a sauce with a scoop of farmhouse ice-cream.
