Aebleskiver Recipe

Æbleskiver recipe

2 Cups flour

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, separated

2 Cups milk

1/4 cup melted butter, cooled

1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

Begin by separating the egg yolks and whites, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl mix together egg yolks, milk, and extract. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking vigorously to keep the melted butter from solidifying in a large mass.
Pour wet ingredients into dry, 1/3 at a time, and whisk to combine.
Gently fold egg whites into batter in two parts.
Heat aebelskiver pan on medium high. Put 1/2-3/4 teaspoon butter (allow to melt) into each cup before batter.
Fill cups just to the rim with batter and allow it to brown before turning to the next side with a skewer. Only turn about 1/4 turn each time to get the best round shape. Generally 4-6 small turns is what is needed to form the perfect ball shape.
Serve warm with jam, preserves, compote, fruit and/or powdered sugar. Or try out a savory recipe if you’re feeling adventurous!
