Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 Tbsp light olive oil
- 1 ½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Optional: Nutella, jam, sauces, powdered sugar for filling and/or serving.
Make the aebleskivers:
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until light in color. Add the sugar and beat in well.
- Stir together remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add half
- to the egg yolk mixture.
- Gently fold in half of the buttermilk, then the remaining flour and rest of the buttermilk. Mix in the oil.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the mixture.
- Cook as directed in the instructions for your aebleskiver pan, but do a test before filling all of the holes. I use a long wooden skewer to turn the pancakes over in the pan-it works great.
- You can even fill these with your choice of fillings, like apple, Nutella, chocolate, jam, etc. All you have to do is place a little batter in the pan, drop in your filling, then place more batter on top, that's it! My favorite is Nutella!

Notes
- Fill the center with jam or Nutella if you like.
