Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes)

By: ellie 
"As a young girl, I constantly craved Saturdays and Sundays when my mother would prepare these small delicious pancakes. Now as a college student, I still look forward to Christmas time when our family is together and my mother and I prepare an overwhelming amount to feed family members! Definitely add in any kind of jam, peanut butter, honey, Nutella®, chocolate chips, fruit (diced apples, blueberries, etc.); the possibilities are endless and so delicious!"

Original Recipe Yield 14 balls
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 dash ground cloves
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
  2. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
  3. Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don't forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it's all about rotation! Use a long skewer or knitting needle to lift one edge and give it a 1/4 turn. The uncooked batter will spill over into the cup, and cook. Continue lifting and turning the edges until the batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.

Footnotes

  • These are also great filled. Try with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, jam, honey, Nutella®, peanut butter, coconut, cranberries, raisins, blueberries, and pie fillings (not the most nutritious but definitely yummy.) Simply fill the cup about 1/3 full and place the filling in the center of the pooled batter.
