Aebleskivers

Aebleskivers

2.5 cups of flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 and 1/4 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. baking powder

2 cups buttermilk

2 eggs separated

3 TBSP oil

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.  Whip egg whites together till fluffy in a separate bowl and set aside egg yolks.  Fold whipped egg whites into dry ingredients.  Add egg yolks and milk to dry ingredients and mix together.  Add in oil and mix together.

Heat pan on a medium heat. Fill each cup on pan half full and let cook. Turn slightly puff when it has cooked on the edges with a knitting needle. Continue turning slightly as it cooks so that the aebleskivers will cook into a sphere.

There are a variety of ways to eat them.  We usually break them into 1/4’s and sprinkle them with powdered sugar and dip them into homemade jams and jellies.  We also serve them with fresh whipping cream….Yum right?  Some of my kids like to eat them with syrups and fresh fruit cut up on them.  Anyway that suits your fancy works.  Aren’t they fun?  These are my kids and husband’s most requested menu item at Oma’s house!
