Best 5 Stuffed Ebelskivers Recipes

ORIGINAL RECIPE FOR DANISH AEBLESKIVER (PANCAKE BALLS)

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.

SEA SALT CHOCOLATE AND GINGER DESSERT EBELSKIVER FILLING

Steps:

• Follow directions for the Ebelskiver batter and set aside. For this filling, in a small bowl mix the two ingredients together. Use these ingredients as the filling for each Ebelskiver as outlined in the batter recipe.

AEBLESKIVER

Steps:

• In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Set aside.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
• Put about 1tablespoon of vegetable oil in the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.

AEBLESKIVER

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.

EASY STUFFED RICOTTA EBELSKIVERS

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients (first five ingredients) in a large bowl. Combine all wet ingredients (next four ingredients - not the butter!) in a separate, smaller bowl, then mix wet into dry ingredients with a whisk. I find it best to make the batter the night before. Cover and refrigerate until using.
• I find it best of you put batter into a squeeze bottle for less mess. Heat pan over medium high heat and brush the wells generously with melted butter. When they begin to sizzle, fill each well 3/4 full of batter, starting with the middle, then going to the top and clockwise so that you can remember the order to flip them and they cook evenly.
• You can stuff these in all sorts of ways! Top the center of each well of batter with a dab of cream cheese, or a chunk of manchego cheese sprinkled with rosemary for savory ebelskivers. For sweet ebelskivers, try a slice of banana sprinkled with brown sugar, or 3-4 chocolate chips. Once they are stuffed, then cover stuffing with batter, taking care not to over-fill the well.
• Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottoms of the ebelskiver are browned. Use two long wooden skewers or chopsticks to carefully flip them over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are evenly browned.
• The ebleskivers are done when they are golden all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached. Remove the puffs from the pan, wipe the wells with paper towel to remove crumbs, brush the wells with more butter and repeat with the remaining batter. This recipe should make about 3 pans of ebleskivers.
• Eat the sweet ebleskivers warm either sprinkled with confectioner's sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce; the manchego/rosemary ones drizzled with honey, and you can go any direction with the cream cheese - get crazy and drizzle with warm jam! If you are making lots, you can keep the ebleskivers warm by placing them an oven preheated to 200°F and covered loosely with foil.
