Æbleskiver 

Prep Time: 45 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Servings: 30 Æbleskivers 

Ingredients

• 9 oz all-purpose flour = 1 cup + 2 shallow Tbsp
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
• 3.5 oz butter, melted = 7 Tbsp
• 3 eggs
• Stuffing: apples, chocolate, sausage, cheese...
• butter or coconut oil to use inside of each hole of the pan
• Sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle 
• Maple syrup or jam, warmed up

Instructions

The Æbleskiver Batter

• Separate the egg whites and yolks in separate bowls.
• Whisk the sugar and egg whites fluffy and stiff. The bowl must be completely clean and dry. A tiny bit of water will make the eggs whites impossible to whisk stiff. Set aside. 
• Mix the egg yolks, all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl.
• Use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients while gradually adding the buttermilk. Keep mixing until the batter is uniform.
• Melt the butter and let it cool off a bit. Slowly add the cooled butter to the buttermilk mixture while whisking.
• Use a wooden spoon or similar to slowly mix the stiff eggs whites in the batter.

The Cooking of Æbleskiver

• You need a special Æbleskiver pan for frying and a squeeze bottle for the batter.
• Heat up the Æbleskiver pan at medium heat, using a flame tamer underneath, and add a small piece of butter or coconut oil in each hole. Fill the holes 3/4 with the Æbleskiver batter.
• When the batter starts to get firm and you can turn them over without cracking, then turn the Æbleskiver 90 degrees (using a wooden stick or a fondue fork or similar) and let the batter flow into the pan.

• At this point there is a hole in the side of the Æbleskiver. Put your choice of stuffing. Pour a little extra batter on top and turn the Æbleskiver another 90 degrees so that the hole gets closed.
• When the Æbleskiver have a solid surface turn them regularly so they get an even and light-brown crust.
  

Sprinkle the Æbleskivers with the sugar plus cinnamon and the maple syrup or jam.
