Traditional Danish pancakes which are made in a special pan.

Equipment

  • 1 aebleskiver pan

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 Tbsp light olive oil
  • 1 ½ Tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Optional: Nutella, jam, sauces, powdered sugar for filling and/or serving.

    Make the aebleskivers:

    • In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until light in color. Add the sugar and beat in well.
    • Stir together remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add half
    • to the egg yolk mixture.
    • Gently fold in half of the buttermilk, then the remaining flour and rest of the buttermilk. Mix in the oil.
    • Beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the mixture.
    • Cook as directed in the instructions for your aebleskiver pan, but do a test before filling all of the holes. I use a long wooden skewer to turn the pancakes over in the pan-it works great.
    • You can even fill these with your choice of fillings, like apple, Nutella, chocolate, jam, etc. All you have to do is place a little batter in the pan, drop in your filling, then place more batter on top, that's it! My favorite is Nutella!

    Notes

    Fill the center with jam or Nutella if you like.
