Aebelskiver/Ebelskiver

16 years ago

A week or two ago there was a post about an Aebelskiver pan. Reminded me that I have one that I never use. I think I used it once when I first bought it about six years ago, but not since. Mine is cast iron vintage Griswold.

Many of the recipes I found on line call for beating the egg yolks and egg whites separately.I found a video/recipe by Violiz2 that didn't separate the eggs. This is her traditional family recipe.

I wasn't sure how the pan would work on a smooth top range but it was fine.

Moe had his topped with maple syrup and I sprinkled powdered sugar over mine.

Aebelskiver/Ebelskiver

======================

Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrgglSlPGQw&feature=related

1-1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

My Additions

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 tablespoon sugar

Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl.

Beat eggs, buttermilk and sour cream together. Add vanilla. Stir into flour mixture.

Heat Aebelskiver pan over medium high heat.

Add a little oil to each cup. (about 1/2 teaspoon or so).

Spoon about 1/8 of a cup of batter into each indent. Let cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Use a tooth pick to make sure that the batter isn't sticking and when the bottoms are brown, use the pick to turn the pancake over.

So sorry my pics are no longer available. I've been having great difficulty maintaining picture boards, especially since Webshots sold out and established totally unsuitable formats for my use. I just haven't got around to reloading my pics elsewhere, but at least I did save all my pics on my own computer.

I live about 4 miles from the Nordic Ware outlet store. I always pass it on the way to my favorite grocery store. Reading this thread prompted me to stop in today. I bought a cake pan that will make a pirate ship, and another that will make a castle. I already have a large cast iron ebelskiver pan - but the outlet store had mini-puff pancake pans. I bought the only two they had left. One for me and one for an unsuspecting forum member! Can you believe we still have this much snow left? And it's been sunny and 40-50 degrees for two days. This is how it goes in Minnesota. Winter one day and spring a week later. I hope the unsuspecting forum member loves the mini pan. It will make 5 ebelskivers at one time. Barnmom linked a recipe that looks light and tasty. Thanks Eileen. Ann posted a recipe that produces a heavier/denser product but is considerd more traditional by some. The recipe I use makes a pancake puff that is almost like a popover. Great find Eileen. Thanks for posting it. I see a couple of other older threads on the subject were brought to the top because of your thrift store score. I hope Alice enjoys it for years to come. Teresa

It worked!!! And they looked so cute! Both DH and DS really liked them. They are a winner! I also liked them for myself in regards to portion size. I just ate 2 little ones instead of a big pancake. Probably the same amount but it seemed like I was sticking to my diet more. Yes, it is a little more difficult then it looks in the video. It takes awhile to master the technique. Keep turning, medium low heat and spray oil the pan each time worked for me. Also do the middle one last because it cooks the fastest. They were also maybe more difficult because I used Krusteaz WW pancake mix. So some looked more like the surface of the moon then a nice smooth ball but they tasted good. And I served them with sauted apple slices (Staymen-Winesap from our tree) with a little powdered sugar and Penzeys cinnamon. Clare

Yum, those Ebelskiver sound terrific...like a jelly doughnut without the deep frying! Gonna have to try that. I know there is a Japanese Takoyaki pan that looks much like it, only the wells are smaller...closer to the size of a Tablespoon. The method is similar as well. A batter is spooned into the wells of a very hot pan, sliced octopus is added for the filling, and the batter is turned over using a skewer. The result is tender little puffs filled with octopus, which are served with dipping sauces of various kinds. I will try the sweet Ebelskiver for breakfast some morning (my husband will be overjoyed) but I'm already thinking about savory variations to try. That makes sense about the steamer pot. I never steam veggies in that way, and I've been boiling pasta in a pot and dumping it into a colander my whole life, so didn't even think of that either. Well, I'll try it and see if it makes anything easier or more convenient. Otherwise, it's off with it as my kitchen cabinets are getting too crowded again!

Achoo! powdered sugar makes me sneeze but I don't care. I love the stuff!

Ann, I'll take one with a double espresso latte' :-)They sure do look good! Also your pan looks particularly lovely! I love cast iron and Griswold is a favorite. Very hard to fine but I grab it up everytime I get a chance.

Masterful job of flippin' those little gems....mine aren't always that pretty.
Did you fill yours? Once I discovered that you didn't HAVE to fill them and could just put sweetened fruit on top...life became easier.

Wow, those look realllly good! Hmm... I don't have an aebelskiver pan. If I didn't know Sandy Claws is going to have a really lean Christmas around here this year I'd put one on my list. I'll have to show it to Christy and see what Sandy Claws can find at the thrift shops.. lol. I think I've missed a very nice treat.

Riverrat, do you eat your beignets nekkid? lol.. Oh, sorry, I see you eat it anyway and love the stuff. Smiles. I might just have to console myself with some beignets.

Thanks Ann for the beautiful pics/ideas and for giving my stomach the push to get out to the kitchen for some much needed food. [Have I mentioned how much I hate having to use a walker?]

Darn this forum. Once you get here it's hard not to go through at least a dozen threads. I took my insulin so now I really better go eat. Hate for ya'll to read the headlines, " Diabetic croaks at computer reading about food while blood sugar drop killed her." LOL.. (After re-reading the tomato thread I think it might be tomato sammich.]

I couldn"t believe how easy they were to make. I guess it helps that the cast iron is well seasoned.

Klseiverd, the recipe made 28.

Mitch, yes even though the cast iron pan didn't have a flat bottom it still worked fine on the smooth top.

Linda, I didn't fill them but it would have been easy to do. Not sure I would fill them though since I don't care for jams or cooked fruit.

Ann, Thanks for the additional tips. I have been experimenting with these thinking BeauLily would like them. First time Beau said "Grammy, something not right". He is use to frozen pancakes!

Oh my, I want one of those pans. Wow Ann, your baking and cooking is incredible. I want to be just like you.

I'm learning so much from all of you out there!! Thank you so much. My DH says I'm addicted to CF. I guess I am.

I have one that I got for Christmas two years ago.I'm hanging my head in shame, it still has the wrapper on it. It came from Williams and Sonoma.... an apple filling sounds good about now.

Ann, you're the inspiration I needed.
