Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Butter, for greasing the pan
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar, for serving
• 0.5 cup Jam (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Using a clean bowl and an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them. This will make the aebleskiver light and airy.

Step 5

Heat the aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Once hot, brush each cup with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Fill each well of the pan about two-thirds full with batter. Let cook until the bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Using a skewer, chopstick, or fork, gently flip each aebleskiver halfway to create the ball shape. Allow them to continue cooking until evenly golden brown and fully cooked through, about 2-3 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked aebleskiver to a plate and keep them warm before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with jam on the side, if desired.

Step 9

Enjoy warm with family or friends!
