Aebleskiver 2 (from an Aebleskiver Pan box)
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
Flour to make medium thick batter
2 cups buttermilk or sour milk
1 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp melted butter
1 tbl sugar
Separate eggs. Cream yolks, sugar and shortening. Add salt, milk, soda, baking powder, and flour enough to make a medium thick batter. Fold in beaten egg whites last. Bake in butter in monk's pan. When half done, turn and finish baking. A word about electric and gas ranges: I have had more consistent results on electric ranges than with gas. The flame tends to cook the central pit too quickly, and the outer pits too slowly.

This Recipe Contributed by Thomas Webster: IT'S GREAT TO KNOW AEBLESKIVERS HAVE WORKED THEIR WAY ONTO THE INTERNET. Aebleskivers (My family's recipe) I timed myself and was able to make these (first batch on pan) in just under 15 minutes!
Here's what you'll need:
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk Peanut Oil for pan ( or melted butter, margarine )
Skewers for turning.
My family recipe says to sift the flour, but I just put it in a bowl and stir in the other dry ingredients. Then I take the egg and put in a small bowl, beat it and set it aside. Next I take the 2 Tbsp butter and Microwave* it. Combine butter with milk, then add beaten egg. Now pour this mixture onto flour mixture and whisk it til batter is smooth. Batter should be a bit thick, not runny. Make sure pan is heated,( i use med-lo setting on my electric ) and brush each cup lightly with oil. Fill each cup about 3/4 full. In about 30 seconds a thin shell will form on the bottom of each aebleskiver. Stick a skewer into baked portion and gently pull shell almost halfway up so inner batter flows out. Continue to rotate each pancake ball about every 30 seconds or so until they form balls. My brother likes to fill them when they are half way cooked, sealing the Jam in the middle. I prefer to break them open afterwards and fill them. Bacon, Sausages and Fruit are good to serve along with.
* if you want, you can melt the butter for the recipe in one of the cups while the pan warms up! when melted, carefully pour into bowl and by that time it will be cool enough to add. enjoy! Thanks, Thom!
