Danish Pancake Balls
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Canola oil spray, for greasing pan
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Strawberry jam, for topping
- Special equipment: an electric hand mixer, a Danish ebelskiver pan and wooden skewers
- Add the egg whites to a bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the egg yolks and buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until no lumps remain.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Transfer the batter to a pitcher for easy pouring into the pan.
- Heat the ebelskiver pan over medium heat.
- Drizzle each hole with approximately 2 tablespoons of canola oil.
- Test the heat of the pan with a teaspoon of the batter; it should bubble immediately.
- When the pan is hot enough, fill each hole to the top with the batter.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes, then poke the middle of each pancake ball with a skewer and give the pancake ball a quarter turn.
- Wait 1 minute, then turn completely over.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
- The pancake balls are done once a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve topped with strawberry jam.
