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.
AEBLESKIVER (DANISH PANCAKES)
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!

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.

Steps:
- Beat eggs lightly and add milk (and chia seeds if using). Combine sugar, flour and salt; add to egg mixture. Stir in cream. Fry apple slices over medium-high heat in butter until they are golden brown. Cover the bottom of a lightly buttered baking dish with the fried apples. (The recipe did not state what size dish to use. I used a 11 3/4 x 7 1/2 casserole dish and the recipe was ready closer to 15-20 min mark). Pour the batter made from the eggs and other ingredients over the apples. Bake at 500F for 20-25 (if 15-20 if using a smaller pan). Sprinkle cinnamon and lemon juice over the top. Return to over and bake an additional 10 minutes.
DANISH OVEN PANCAKE (AEGGEKAGE)
An Aeggekage is a traditional Danish oven pancake, usually served as a buffet item or as a dessert for a family holiday meal. It is a light, cake-like dish that is not too sweet and absolutely delicious with fresh seasonal berries and fresh whipped cream! (Think of it as a sweetened Yorkshire pudding). Just make sure you serve immediately, this pancake does not do well cold nor is it a good leftover. But chances are you won't have any remaining Aeggekage to worry about!

Tips:
- Use a large skillet to ensure the pancakes have enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
- To achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the batter.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a more authentic Danish experience, serve the pancakes with lingonberry jam or fresh berries.
