Aebleskiver
Aebleskiver is a delicious Danish treat that my husband introduced to me when we got married. Imagine a cross between a doughnut hole and a pancake.

Equipment
- Aebleskiver pan
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs divided into egg whites and egg yolks in separate bowls
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoon butter melted
- 2 cups buttermilk
- melted butter for greasing pan
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, 4 Tbsp. melted butter and buttermilk and beat until smooth.
- Gently fold in the egg whites last.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup with melted butter and heat over medium heat until hot.
- Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, flip them over (In Denmark they typically use a knitting needle to flip, but you can use a chopstick or a fork).
- Continue cooking, turning the ball until is is golden brown all the way around and is cooked through (like a pancake). It might take a couple tries to get the feel for it, but once you do you will be flippin' aebleskiver like it's nobody's business!
- Serve with jam or syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
