Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 large eggs, separated
  2. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  3. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  5. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. 2 cups buttermilk
  8. Canola oil, for greasing pan
  9. Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  10. Strawberry jam, for topping

Instructions

  1. Add the egg whites to a bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg yolks and buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until no lumps remain. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Transfer the batter to a pitcher for easy pouring into the pan.
  2. Heat the ebelskiver pan over medium heat. Drizzle each hole with approximately 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Test the heat of the pan with a teaspoon of the batter; it should bubble immediately. When the pan is hot enough, fill each hole to the top with the batter. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, then poke the middle of each pancake ball with a skewer and give the pancake ball a quarter turn. Wait 1 minute, then turn completely over. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more. The pancake balls are done once a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve topped with strawberry jam.

Thank you, this recipe was easy for me. I’m in novice in cooking Danish food, my great grandfather emigrated from Denmark, in the late 1800’s. He settled in Iowa. My grandpa was born in 1898. I don’t  know how to cook danish food. I’m 69 years old and cooked most of my life. I am a novice at this recipes, but this recipe was fun and easy. While cooking these pancake balls I also fixed krumkake using the same batter and I had more success then this last weekend. Which was a real disaster.
