AEBLESKIVER, DANISH PANCAKE POPS

Danish dessert, ideal for breakfast. The batter is much lighter than the normal pancake mix. They resemble the doughnut holes. A special pan is used to make these pops. They are so tasty and I promise they finish very quickly. 

Serves 4

Time: 30-40 minutes

2 cups plain flour

2 eggs separated ( whites & yolks )

2 tsp baking powder

1 tbs caster sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 cups  buttermilk ( 2 cups milk + 2 tsp vinegar )

1/2 tsp salt

4 tbs melted butter

2 tsp oil for greasing

Method

To make these pops you need the pan shown in the pic below and they are easily available in the stores. 

To make the batter, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. In another bowl, mix the yolks, plain flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, vanilla and buttermilk till incorporated.  Fold the egg whites lighthandedly. 

 

Let the mix rest till the pan is heated. Spoon a 1/8th cup of the mix into the greased pan.  

 

Let the bubbles appear on the batter, then turn sideways so that the batter in the middle can spill out in the pan hole to continues cooking. Then turn the pops completely shown in the pic below. Toothpick or a skewer will be handy to turn the balls.

 

By the way, if you do not have the pan, you can cook it in a normal pan. Serve it with a good dollop of jam for the kids and adults can have it with a glass of glogg (traditionally served).
