How to Make Aebleskiver

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  2. Add 1 cup buttermilk and 2 large egg yolks to the dry ingredients.
  3. Gently stir until just combined; don't overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. In a clean, large bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (peaks should softly droop when you lift the beaters).
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Lightly grease each well with cooking spray or butter.
  7. Fill each well about ⅔ full with batter.
  8. Place a teaspoon of jam or jelly in the center of each aebleskiver.
  9. Top with a small spoonful of batter to cover the jam.
  10. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a toothpick or small skewer to gently turn the aebleskiver as they cook.
  11. Serve immediately, dusted generously with powdered sugar. Enjoy with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fruit!
