Categories     Dessert     Nordic Christmas

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Natron ((baking soda))
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
4 dl buttermilk
100 g butter, melted
3 eggs
1 tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • Separate the egg whites and yolks in separate bowls.
  • Whisk the sugar and egg whites fluffy and stiff. The bowl must be completely clean and dry. A tiny bit of water will make the eggs whites impossible to whisk stiff. Set aside.
  • Mix the egg yolks, all-purpose flour, natron (baking soda), salt and vanilla sugar together in a separate bowl.
  • Use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients while gradually adding the buttermilk. Keep mixing until the batter is uniform.
  • Melt the butter and let it cool off a bit. Slowly add the cooled butter to the buttermilk mixture while whisking.
  • Use a wooden spoon or similar to slowly mix the stiff eggs whites in the batter.
  • You need a special Aebleskive pan for frying. You can get one online or maybe at your local kitchen store.
  • Heat up the Aebleskive pan at medium heat and add a small piece of butter in each hole. Fill the holes 3/4 with the Aebleskive batter.
  • When the batter starts to get firm and you can turn them over without cracking, then turn the Aebleskiver 90 degrees (using a wooden stick or similar) and let the batter flow into the pan.
  • At this point there is a hole in the side of the Aebleskive. Pour a little extra batter into the hole and turn the Aebleskive another 90 degrees so that the hole gets closed.
  • When the Aebleskiver have a solid surface turn them regularly so they get an even and light-brown crust.

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

  • 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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 17m

Yield 30 Aebelskivers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons cooking oil
jam, jelly, honey, syrup (optional) or applesauce (optional)
sifted powdered sugar (optional)
cinnamon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl stir together milk and egg yolks until well combined. Add to flour mixture. Stir until smooth.
  • In a small bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter, leaving a few puffs of egg white. Do not overbeat.
  • Place an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; lightly brush each cup with oil. When the oil sizzles, use about 2 tablespoons of the batter to fill each cup 2/3 full. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. As a thin shell forms, use a fork or wooden toothpick to gently invert the cooked portion and allow the uncooked portion to flow into the cup. Invert each aebleskiver and cook until all shells are set and all sides are sealed. Continue rotating and cooking until they are evenly golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted in their centers comes out clean.
  • If you choose to add jam to the center just add a small amount of jam to the middle of batter right after you put the batter in the pan. Use toothpick or spoon to push batter over top of jam. If you choose to add a filling make sure not to fill the cups to full of batter(1/2 - 2/3 full). Then continue to cook and flip as the directions say.
  • Note: If you are having sticking uses with the pan you may need to crank up to heat, add more oil, or both.
  • Use a fork or wooden toothpick to transfer each aebleskiver to a plate. Serve immediately or keep warm in a loosely covered ovenproof dish in a 300 degree F oven. If desired, serve with jam, jelly, honey, syrup, or applesauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 30 aebleskiver.

Years ago, a friend returned from visiting her family in Denmark and brought back her family recipe for aebleskiver.

Yield about 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
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. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve warm with confectioners' sugar. Freeze option: Freeze cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper in a freezer container. To use, place pancakes on an ungreased baking sheet, cover with foil and reheat in a preheated 375° oven until heated through, 5-10 minutes. Or, place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until heated through, 45-90 seconds.

Tips:

  • Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to fill the aebleskiver pan with batter. This will help you create even-sized balls of dough.
  • Cook the aebleskivers over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outsides will burn before the insides are cooked through.
  • Flip the aebleskivers often so that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the aebleskivers warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or fruit preserves.
  • If you don't have an aebleskiver pan, you can also cook the batter in a well-greased mini muffin pan.

Aebleskivers are a delicious and easy-to-make Danish treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect aebleskivers every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
