DANSK AEBLESKIVER (DANISH DOUGHNUTS)



Dansk Aebleskiver (Danish Doughnuts) image

My husband is from Denmark, and making this traditional Danish favorite is a family affair. I make the batter, my husband does the cooking, and the kids help us make them disappear! We like to dip our aebleskivers in raspberry jam, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. The cardamom gives them that something extra. No wonder this recipe is a family favorite! Danish cooks use a long knitting needle to turn the doughnuts, but you can use a fork, too.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
¼ cup melted butter
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ tablespoons ground cardamom
2 cups vegetable shortening, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat an electric aebleskiver pan according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • Beat together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and cardamom into the egg mixture until evenly blended and smooth.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of shortening into each cup of the preheated aebleskiver pan, and allow the oil to heat. Pour batter into each cup until 3/4 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, then 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.

Time 35m

Yield 20 Apprx pieces, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Place eggs in a measuring cup and cover with milk until it reaches 1 2/3 cups.
  • Beat eggs& milk.
  • Add liquids to dry ingredients.
  • Mix well but don't beat.
  • Cook over a fairly low heat with 1/4 tsp oil in the bottom of each space.
  • When bubbly around the edges and looking half cooked use a knitting needle (or fork to flip over).
  • A pan usually makes ten so when you take them out keep warm in the oven.
  • Serve with butter & sugar or your favorite preserve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the doughnuts tough.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the doughnuts. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly and not cook through. If the oil is too cold, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil.
  • Fry the doughnuts in small batches so that they don't crowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the doughnuts warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
