Delicious Æbleskiver Recipe - Authentic Norwegian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (separated)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 cup fruit preserves (for filling)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for a lighter batter.
  2. Mix wet ingredients

    In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

    Ensure the buttermilk is at room temperature for better mixing.
  3. Combine mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Beat egg whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

    Use a clean bowl and whisk for better results.
  5. Fold in egg whites

    Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated.

    Use a spatula to fold gently to maintain airiness.
  6. Cook æbleskiver

    Preheat an æbleskiver pan and lightly grease it. Spoon batter into each well, filling them halfway.

    Turn them with a skewer after a few minutes for even cooking.
  7. Serve

    Once golden brown, remove from the pan and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with fruit preserves.

    Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
