Aebleskivers
Skill Level
David had these at work one morning and decided we needed an aebleskiver pan. Since then, the kids have taken German language classes and appreciate the treat even more. They are time consuming but fun for a Saturday morning. We have added to our experience by using food syringes to fill the inside of the aebleskiver with yummy jam.

Meanwhile
Ingredients
2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 tablespoon
sugar
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
2
egg yolks
4 tablespoons
butter, melted
2 cups
buttermilk
Instructions
Mix together one at a time until smooth. Gently fold in egg white last.
I usually don't have buttermilk on hand so I substitute 2 tablespoons lemon juice and regular milk to make 2 cups. It works really well.

Next
Ingredients
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
Instructions
Brush each pan cup with vegetable oil and heat until 350*. Pour batter unto each cup until full. As soon as they get bubbly on the edges, turn them quickly between 90 and 120*. (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, we use a bamboo skewer.) Rotate the ball one more time to finish the rotation and finish cooking.
For each new batch of aebleskivers, make sure you put a new layer of oil in the pan.

Finally
Ingredients
Instructions
There are a couple of different ways to serve aebleskivers. We like to fill them with jam or pudding, drizzled with chocolate or maple syrup. Sometimes just rolled in cinnamon sugar is great too. Once we tried to put cooked apples (apple pie filling) in the aebleskivers as they were cooking to be more authentic. That will take more practice and we enjoy the methods we have.
Filling the aebleskivers is easier with a syringe, but before we bought a set we would just tear them in half, put jam in, and sandwich them back together.
