A couple of years ago some students at the end of the year gave me an aebelskiver pan. Proof that I had taught them well! Since I live alone I never make pancakes. There is always too much batter and no use for it. But since I got this pan, I do every now and then make a batch of aebelskiver. Since they freeze wonderfully, a prerequisite for registration in my breakfast course. They also make a great afternoon snack.
The recipe, from Beatrice Ojakangas in The Great Scandinavian Baking Book.
1 cup milk, heated to
lukewarm
½ cup melted butter
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks
2 tbs sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
Melted butter for brushing pan.
Whisk together milk, butter, egg yolks, and sugar, Whisk in
flour and baking powder. Fold in egg whites. Heat pan over medium heat, reduce
heat to low and use about one heaping tablespoon batter for each Aebelskiver,
lightly butter pan before each round.
