Aebleskiver

Aebleskiver is a delicious Danish treat that my husband introduced to me when we got married. Imagine a cross between a doughnut hole and a pancake.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs divided into egg whites and egg yolks in separate bowls
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • melted butter for greasing pan

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, 4 Tbsp. melted butter and buttermilk and beat until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
  4. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup with melted butter and heat over medium heat until hot.
  5. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, flip them over (In Denmark they typically use a knitting needle to flip, but you can use a chopstick or a fork).
  6. Continue cooking, turning the ball until is is golden brown all the way around and is cooked through (like a pancake). It might take a couple tries to get the feel for it, but once you do you will be flippin' aebleskiver like it's nobody's business!
  7. Serve with jam or syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
