I had a couple of questions regarding the Ebelskivers and Poffertjes Post.

Pronunciation:   A Bell Skiv Ers   or   Poff er tees

I use butter instead of oil for the frying part, and it may seem like a lot of work to separate the eggs and whip the whites, but it makes them nice and light.

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg yolks
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Set aside.
2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
3. Put about 1tablespoon of vegetable oil in the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.  

 

 

 

 

 

Poffertjes or Ebelskiver

  Last year for Christmas Mr. Riley bought me a strange looking pan.

It was on my list. 

It is for making Poffertjes (if your Dutch) or Ebelskiver (if your Danish).  We've made  them twice now, the last time was on New Year's Eve with family.  We have tried filling them with many things; all kinds of jam, chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, cream cheese, and blueberries.  We have also served them with powdered sugar, whipped cream and syrup.  All Good.

 Mr. Riley and I work as a team, I do the batter, he does the fillings.
