Aebleskiver = Danish Pancake Balls image

No one is sure how the Danes invented their delicious round pancake, but there is a bit of folklore that goes something like this.

Categories     Pancakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs seperated
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 c buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c flour
1 aebleskiver pan =( a monks pan)
butter for the pan

Steps:

  • 1. Beat egg whites until stiff. Set aside. Beat rest of ingredients until batter is smooth. Fold in egg whites.
  • 2. Heat a well seasoned Monks Pan and a Aebleskiver Pan ( the same thing) over medium high heat, add 1/8 teaspoon of butter to each hole, to a point where butter sizzles on the surface. Fill each hole 3/4 full with the batter. Be sure to butter each hole for the next round of batter.
  • 3. When browned on one side( almost right away). Feel free to turn them several times. When done lightly run a knife around the edges before turning. Then turn with a chop stick, knitting needle or a plastic fork. Always do a taste test. You usually have to turn only once. With practice it gets easier. Do not get discouraged.
  • 4. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with maple or your favorite syrup. Personally I love blueberry syrup!
  • 5. Aebleskiver, means apples. This was the traditional way to make these.. filled with chopped apples. Now you can find them made with various fruits. They can be refrigerated and are delicious served re-warmed in the microwave for 24-35 seconds.
  • 6. This recipe makes 12. Feel free to double it..for 24. I have a neighbor that uses pancake batter! You might like to try that batter, in a pinch. I understand TRADER JOE'S sell them frozen! Here in Spokane WA. the OLD EUROPEAN RESTAURANT serves them all day. Picture # 5 is from the Old European........YUMMY!!

I was a little disappointed with these aebleskivers. The batter was a bit too thick and the pancakes were a bit too greasy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made aebleskivers before, but this recipe is by far the best. The batter is light and airy, and the pancakes cook evenly. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Danish food.
