Servings: 4

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
2 cups
Granulated sugar
1/4 cup
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Egg
2, separated
Buttermilk
1 1/2 cups
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons, melted
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Powdered sugar
for dusting
Jam
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated.
  5. Preheat an Aebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Fill each well with batter, filling it about 3/4 full. Allow space for the batter to expand as it cooks.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and become golden brown. Using a skewer or fork, carefully flip each Aebleskiver over, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown on all sides.
  8. Transfer the cooked Aebleskiver to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve the Aebleskiver warm, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by jam for dipping. Enjoy these delightful treats fresh off the pan!
