Aebleskiver (Danish Pancake Balls) Recipe
- 3 x Large eggs, separated
- 2/3 c. All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 5 Tbsp. Heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp Freshly grated lemon peel
- 21/2 tsp Butter, melted
- Confectioner's sugar
- An iron pan with circular indentations is used to make the meltingly light Danish pancake balls called aebleskiver.
- There is no real substitute for aebleskiver pans; fortunately they are available in fancy cookware shops or possibly in Scandinavian import stores throught the country.
- The authentic way to turn the aebleskiver in the pan is with a knitting needle.
- (I remember my grandmother telling me this too!)
- I always thought she was making it up.
- Beat the egg whites till stiff.
- With the same beater, beat the egg holks till frothy.
- Combine the flour, sugar and salt and sift into the egg yolks in three stages, adding the cream alternately.
- Add in the lemon peel, then stir in the melted butter.
- Stir a little of the egg whites into the mix to lighten it, then gently mix in the remaining egg whites.
- Meanwhile, heat an aebleskiver pan.
- When the pan is warm, grease each indentation with butter.
- Spoon in the batter, filling the indentations 3/4 full.
- Cook till the lower half of each aebleskiver is golden but the upper half is still uncooked.
- With a pointed object such as a knitting needle, nut pick or possibly skewer and using a knife or possibly spoon for balance, tip each aebleskiver and turn it over in the indentation.
- The uncooked batter will flow out to fit the indentation, making the aebleskiver round.
- Cook till the other half is golden.
- Serve immediately with butter, confectioners' sugar and or possibly tart jelly.
- Makes 14 aebleskiver.
