Description
🇩🇰 A delightful Danish treat straight from the recipe book of one of my daughter’s friends’ moms! Living in a community with a vibrant Scandinavian influence, these Aebleskivers are a breakfast staple often found at church gatherings. Light, fluffy, and just a tad sweet, they’re perfect when drizzled with a fruit-flavored syrup! 🍓🥞
Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups flour
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg Whites:
- Start by separating the egg whites into a small bowl and set them aside for later.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg yolks until smooth and creamy.
-
Blend Wet and Dry:
- Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps!
-
Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to beat until you have glossy, stiff peaks.
-
Fold in Egg Whites:
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula. This will ensure your Aebleskivers are light and airy.
-
Cooking Aebleskivers:
- Heat your Aebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour batter into each well, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a skewer or fork, gently flip each Aebleskiver over to cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes more.
- Transfer the cooked Aebleskivers to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- 🍓 Drizzle with your favorite fruit-flavored syrup or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- 🥞 Serve warm and watch them disappear quickly! These are best enjoyed fresh off the pan.

Recipe Notes:
- Aebleskivers are traditionally cooked in a special pan with round wells. If you don’t have an Aebleskiver pan, you can try using a cake pop maker or even a mini-muffin tin.
- Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the batter to keep the Aebleskivers light and fluffy.
- These Aebleskivers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a crispy texture.
