Little
pancake balls made in a special pan, usually cast iron, with 6-7
depressions in the pan. Original recipes have apples or applesauce in
them. This one is plain, easy to make, and very delicious with coffee or
tea.
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
vegetable oil for frying
 Separate
the eggs and beat whites until stiff but not dry. Set aside. In another
bowl, combine egg yolks, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, salt, baking
soda, sugar, and butter. Beat until smooth, and then fold in the egg
whites. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat and put about 1
teaspoon oil into each depression. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the
batter into each cup, and as soon as they get bubbly around the edges,
turn quickly using a knitting needle or crochet hook or other such
needle-like instrument so as not to puncture the balls. Continue
cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning. Serve with raspberry
jam or maple syrup and powdered sugar. |
