Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons butter (melted, plus extra for the pan)
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate, large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar. Stir well, then add the egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk and mix just until combined.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Batter will be fairly thick.
  • Heat your aebleskiver pan over medium heat until hot. Brush each cup with a little melted butter using a pastry brush, then fill each cup with about 2 tablespoons of batter until almost full.
  • As soon as the aebleskivers begin to bubble around the edges, use a wooden skewer, chopstick, knitting needle, or fork to flip them over half way, letting the batter slide around to fill in the bottom of the cup.
  • Continue cooking, turning the aebleskiver again to let the batter fill in the remainder of the sphere and continuing to turn until golden brown all the way around and cooked through.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar, then serve with jam (traditional), honey, cinnamon honey (my favorite!), or even just syrup.

AEBLESKIVER



Aebleskiver image

Years ago, a friend returned from visiting her family in Denmark and brought back her family recipe for aebleskiver. After hearing her rave about these tasty Danish pancake balls sold in bakeries and at street markets there, I ordered an aebleskiver pan. I've been making them ever since. -Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, separated, room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
2 medium peaches, peeled and chopped
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and buttermilk until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir into egg mixture just until moistened. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff but not dry. With a rubber spatula, gently stir a fourth of the egg whites into batter. Fold in remaining egg whites. Place a greased aebleskiver pan over medium heat. In batches, pour 1 tablespoon batter into each cup. Top with a peach piece and another 1 tablespoon batter.

DANISH EBELSKIVER



Danish Ebelskiver image

These are a light Danish-style pancake that will require an ebelskiver cast iron pan. Serve warm with melted butter. Can be rolled into powdered sugar or filled with a berry filling.

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs, separated
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon melted butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks in a bowl; whisk the half-and-half, sugar, and salt with the egg yolks until thoroughly mixed.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the egg mixture just until smooth and most of the lumps are gone.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
  • Brush melted butter into the round depressions of a cast-iron ebelskiver pan. Place the pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is very hot and smells slightly nutty, pour batter into each depression, filling the round shapes about half to three-quarters full. Allow the ebelskiver to cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. The inside batter will still be runny.
  • Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, gently push each ebelskiver at an edge to loosen from the pan. Insert the toothpick lightly into a top edge from the inside, and gently lift and rotate the pancake to turn it over. Turn them so the round bottoms are facing upward and the liquid batter in the center of a pancake runs into the bottom of the round depression. Cook until the other side of each pancake is browned, about 1 more minute.
  • Remove the finished pancakes from the pan with the toothpick, transfer to a platter, and serve warm.

AEBLESKIVER (DANISH PANCAKES)



Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes) image

As a young girl, I constantly craved Saturdays and Sundays when my mother would prepare these small delicious pancakes. Now as a college student, I still look forward to Christmas time when our family is together and my mother and I prepare an overwhelming amount to feed family members! Definitely add in any kind of jam, peanut butter, honey, Nutella®, chocolate chips, fruit (diced apples, blueberries, etc.); the possibilities are endless and so delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground cloves
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
  • Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don't forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it's all about rotation! Use a long skewer or knitting needle to lift one edge and give it a 1/4 turn. The uncooked batter will spill over into the cup, and cook. Continue lifting and turning the edges until the batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.

AEBLESKIVER (ROUND, FILLED DANISH PANCAKES)



Aebleskiver (Round, Filled Danish Pancakes) image

This Danish delicacy is served in many Danish-American homes, including mine. A special pan is needed; even though new pans are available, many cooks favor the old cast-iron pans, which are handed down from generation to generation. You can get them at many scandanavian specialty stores, and can also order them online. In Denmark, aebleskiver is served as a dessert with sugar or marmelade. On the island of Aero, a small sliver of prune is put in the middle as they are cooked. There are many different recipes, and this one is my family's favorite. We put a little jam, preferably lingonberry preserves, in the middle of our aebleskivers as they are cooking, before turning them, and we eat them with sweetened cinamon-sugar applesauce. You will need a little practice in turning these doughnut-like treats. A fork works, but some practiced "turners" use a knitting needle, preferably wooden, or a similar device such as an ice pick. Even a toothpick will do.

Time 30m

Yield 24 aebleskivers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus additional butter, oil, or shortening for greasing the pan)

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside.
  • Beat egg yolks and buttermilk together.
  • Sift dry ingredients together and add to liquid mixture.
  • Add the melted butter and mix together until smooth.
  • Fold in beaten egg whites.
  • Fill pan cups about 1/4 full of oil and heat.
  • Fill pan cups with batter. If you are adding jam, jelly, or applesauce to the middle add it now, only about a 1/4 teaspoons
  • Bake until the edges are bubbly.
  • Turn (using a fork, knitting needle, or toothpick) and continue turning until evenly browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Tips:

- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you only have frozen blueberries, thaw them before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough. - Be careful when flipping the pancakes. They can break easily. - Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Blueberry ebelskivers are a delicious and easy-to-make Danish treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Plus, they're a great way to use up fresh blueberries. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast recipe, give blueberry ebelskivers a try. You won't be disappointed!
