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.

1/2 teaspoon salt

DANISH AEBLESKIVER (EBLESKIVER)



Danish Aebleskiver (Ebleskiver) image

This is a nice simple recipe for aebleskivers. Nothing to wait for overnight. Just mix up whenever you like. You can choose to add jam for a filling or as a spread once served.

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.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk for a tender and fluffy pancake. Buttermilk reacts with baking soda to create a light and airy batter.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature before using it. This will help the batter to mix together smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense pancakes.
  • Use a well-seasoned griddle or frying pan for cooking the pancakes. A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Danish ebleskivers are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you are looking for a traditional Danish breakfast or a fun and festive party food, Danish ebleskivers are sure to be a hit.
