The boys and I had to stay home today, while the last boxes arrived with UPS, Fed Ex and USPS. They were making some very interesting Christmas decorations, and I decided to make Danish aebleskiver, which is a favorite among my boys.
My sons helped make the aebleskiver, and they could not wait until I was done cooking, so my youngest son was full by the time we actually sat down at the table.
The recipe:
Danish Aebleskiver
2 cups buttermilk
7 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tblsp sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. of melted butter for frying.
Serve with powdered sugar, sugar, and jam
Directions:
- Divide the egg whites from the egg yolk.
- In a large bowl mix the egg yolk with the buttermilk, flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Mix until well-blended and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
- While the mixture is resting in the fridge, whisk the egg whites until stiffened.
- When the egg whites are stiffened, carefully stir them into the dough with a dough scraper.
