Aebleskiver


What is an Aebleskiver? A holiday in Denmark often begins with a breakfast of puffy fried cakes called Aebleskiver. The flavorful dough may be fried with a piece of apple inserted into the center or served with apple sauce or apple butter-the cakes takes its name from it's fondness for apples. You can use whatever fruit you want it is just as good.

This Danish Aebleskiver pan is 6-12-inch diameter cast iron pan with seven round indentations. So you must season it before use and don't use soap. It will ruin the pan. To season rinse with hot water, then rub it with cooking oil then bake or put it over a medium flame until the oil starts to smoke. Keep this up after every use.

Recipe :
2 cups flour
1 tea salt
1 tea baking soda
2 cups of buttermilk
3 eggs separated

Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add buttermilk and egg yolks. Beat eggs whites until light and fluffy, forming soft peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter.

Hey, I'm Danish (seriously!). You should make these for me. Hmm, what holiday is coming up that you could make these for? How about President's Day? I'll be over at your house early.

I was thinking waiting until Seth comes home. And on a Sunday.
