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.

Time 55m

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.

These doughnuts were a huge disappointment. They were dense and greasy, and they didn't have much flavor.

I had a lot of trouble getting the doughnuts to cook evenly. Some of them were overcooked while others were still raw in the middle.

These doughnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of doughnuts, but these aebleskiver are an exception. They're light and fluffy, and the powdered sugar coating is the perfect finishing touch.

These doughnuts are a bit more time-consuming to make than regular doughnuts, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so unique and delicious.

These doughnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think they would be perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my aebleskiver turned out flat and dense. They didn't look anything like the pictures in the recipe.

These Danish doughnuts are delightful! They're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a hint of sweetness. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.
