How to Make Aebleskivers Danish Pancakes

1. Preheat your aebleskiver pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a medium bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter until smooth.
4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined.
5. Add about ¾ teaspoon oil to each well of the preheated aebleskiver pan.
6. Fill each well about ¾ full with batter (approximately 1-2 tablespoons per well).
7. Once the edges of the aebleskivers begin to bubble (about 2-3 minutes), use a long skewer, chopstick or a fork to carefully turn them.
8. Continue cooking, turning frequently, until the aebleskivers are golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes total).
9. Remove cooked aebleskivers from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10. Keep warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven until all aebleskivers are cooked.
11. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as apple syrup or fruit preserves.
