Æbleskiver

Prepared 0 of 6 steps

1. 01

   Prepare the batter

   Separate the eggs. Melt 55 g butter and cool. Mix the yolks with buttermilk, vanilla and 20 g sugar. Separately combine flour, baking soda and salt.

2. 02

   Let the dough rest

   Mix the dry ingredients into the milk mixture until the flour disappears, then add the melted butter. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a special pan for æbleskiver and wooden skewers for turning.

3. 03

   Add the beaten whites

   In a clean dry bowl, beat the whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 20 grams of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in with a spatula without deflating the air.

4. 04

   Start cooking in the indentations

   Heat the pan moderately and use some of the remaining 25 g butter to grease the cavities. Fill each about three-quarters full with batter. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges set and the undersides turn golden.

5. 05

   Gradually form the balls

   Using a wooden skewer, turn each pancake about one-quarter of a rotation, allowing the liquid batter to drain down. Continue turning at short intervals until round in shape. Cook for a total of 6–8 minutes until the center is well-baked.

6. 06

   Repeat and serve

   Transfer the cooked balls to a rack, brush the indentations with remaining butter and repeat with the rest of the batter. Check the first batch by cutting into it: there should be no raw batter inside. Serve with the specified powdered sugar, without jam, berries, or cream.
