AEBLESKIVER (DANISH PANCAKES)



Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes) image

As a young girl, I constantly craved Saturdays and Sundays when my mother would prepare these small delicious pancakes. Now as a college student, I still look forward to Christmas time when our family is together and my mother and I prepare an overwhelming amount to feed family members! Definitely add in any kind of jam, peanut butter, honey, Nutella®, chocolate chips, fruit (diced apples, blueberries, etc.); the possibilities are endless and so delicious!

Time 10m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground cloves
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
  • Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don't forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it's all about rotation! 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.

AEBLESKIVER (ROUND, FILLED DANISH PANCAKES)



Aebleskiver (Round, Filled Danish Pancakes) image

This Danish delicacy is served in many Danish-American homes, including mine. A special pan is needed; even though new pans are available, many cooks favor the old cast-iron pans, which are handed down from generation to generation. You can get them at many scandanavian specialty stores, and can also order them online. In Denmark, aebleskiver is served as a dessert with sugar or marmelade. On the island of Aero, a small sliver of prune is put in the middle as they are cooked. There are many different recipes, and this one is my family's favorite. We put a little jam, preferably lingonberry preserves, in the middle of our aebleskivers as they are cooking, before turning them, and we eat them with sweetened cinamon-sugar applesauce. You will need a little practice in turning these doughnut-like treats. A fork works, but some practiced "turners" use a knitting needle, preferably wooden, or a similar device such as an ice pick. Even a toothpick will do.

Time 30m

Yield 24 aebleskivers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus additional butter, oil, or shortening for greasing the pan)

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside.
  • Beat egg yolks and buttermilk together.
  • Sift dry ingredients together and add to liquid mixture.
  • Add the melted butter and mix together until smooth.
  • Fold in beaten egg whites.
  • Fill pan cups about 1/4 full of oil and heat.
  • Fill pan cups with batter. If you are adding jam, jelly, or applesauce to the middle add it now, only about a 1/4 teaspoons
  • Bake until the edges are bubbly.
  • Turn (using a fork, knitting needle, or toothpick) and continue turning until evenly browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Make sure your aebleskiver pan is hot enough before you start cooking. If the pan is not hot enough, the batter will stick and the aebleskivers will not cook evenly.
  • Use a spoon to drop the batter into the pan. This will help you to control the size of the aebleskivers and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the aebleskivers over medium heat. This will help them to cook through evenly without burning.
  • Flip the aebleskivers frequently. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the aebleskivers warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, fruit, and whipped cream.

Aebleskivers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect aebleskivers that will impress your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
