Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 2 large eggs, whites and yolks separated

  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Beat egg whites in a clean glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  2. Beat egg yolks, buttermilk, flour, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Gently fold in egg whites.

  3. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the bottom of each cup.

  4. Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared cup. When bubbles appear around edges, quickly flip (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue turning the ball to keep it from burning until cooked through.
