CHERRY FILLED ABLESKIVER RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cherry Filled Ableskiver Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 12

OPTIONAL FILLING:
4 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter for pan
1/2 cup Nutella
1 banana, sliced into quarters lengthwise and then into small chunks

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, vanilla and butter. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine the yolk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until well blended. The batter will be a little lumpy. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the egg whites in two additions. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat and brush each well with melted butter. Pour about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each well. Optional: Add 1/2 teaspoon of Nutella and 1 to 2 chunks of banana to each well. Then top off each well with enough batter to fill. Cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and bubbly around the edges. Quickly turn each aebelskiver over, using a long wooden skewer or toothpick, trying not to puncture the balls. Continue cooking until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

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

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.

STUFFED EBELSKIVERS



Stuffed Ebelskivers image

These globe-shaped Danish pancakes are a delight to eat and just as much fun to make, once you get the hang of rotating the dumplings in the traditional ebelskiver pan. Whipped egg whites make the batter light and fluffy and the round shape is perfect for stuffing. You can go sweet, as we have here, or try using savory combinations like bacon and cheese or caramelized onions and mushrooms.

Provided by Cooking Channel

Time 30m

Yield 14 ebelskivers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons firmly-packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 eggs, separated
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 14 pieces
Fillings: raspberries, semi-sweet chocolate chips, fruit preserves or jam
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk together the egg yolks, milk and sour cream in another medium bowl. Whisk the yolk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. The batter will be lumpy. Allow the batter to rest while you whip the egg whites.
  • Put the egg whites in another medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  • Heat an ebelskiver pan on medium heat for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat. Put a cube of butter into 4 of the wells; it should barely sizzle when it hits the pan. Use the back of a spoon to slide the butter up the sides of the wells so that each well is coated and some butter pools at the bottom. Fill the buttered wells almost to the top with batter, about 2 tablespoons each. Repeat with the butter and batter in the remaining 4 wells. (You are working in batches to prevent the butter from burning.)
  • Cook until the batter puffs and bubbles on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Then take a wooden skewer, push it through the raw batter and into the bottom crust of each ebelskiver to turn it and confirm the bottom is set into a golden brown crust (if it's not, return the dumpling to its original position and let it continue to cook). Using the skewer, turn the ebelskivers so the cooked parts are half-in, half-out of the cups. Raw batter will spill into the wells but the dumplings should hold their shape. (If a dumpling does not slide up easily or hold its shape, slide it back to its original position and give it more time to cook and set.)
  • Cook until the new undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Carefully stuff the desired filling into the openings. (For each ebelskiver use 1 large or 2 small raspberries, 3 or 4 semi-sweet chocolate chips or a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves or jam.) Use up to 1 teaspoon of additional batter to top the filling in each ebelskiver. Using the skewer and a finger, if necessary, turn the ebelskivers once more so the additional batter is now on the bottom of the wells. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Check all sides of the ebelskivers: If there are pale spots on some, turn them down so they brown against the bottom of the pan for a few seconds. When they are done, the ebelskivers should be evenly deep golden brown and a skewer inserted deep into the dough, avoiding the filling, comes out clean. If you find that some are cooking much more quickly than others, rotate the pan occasionally to even out the heat.
  • Remove the ebelskivers from the pan. Repeat the buttering and turning process with the remaining batter to make 6 or 7 more ebelskivers. By the second batch, the pan will be significantly hotter, so you won't need to increase the heat to medium to get started and the ebelskivers will cook more quickly.
  • Dust the ebelskivers with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups white flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
3 eggs, separated

Tips for Making the Best Cherry-Filled Aebleskiver

  • Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • If you don't have a traditional aebleskiver pan, you can use a regular frying pan or griddle. Just make sure to heat it over medium-low heat and grease it well before cooking.
  • Be patient when cooking the aebleskiver. They take a few minutes to cook through, so don't rush the process. Otherwise, you'll end up with undercooked dough.
  • Serve the aebleskiver warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, or jam.

Conclusion

Aebleskiver are a delicious and unique treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these cherry-filled aebleskiver a try.
