Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill® Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix
- Powdered Confectioners Sugar, to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, plus extra for brushing the pan)
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Separate Eggs: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and crack the 2 eggs, separating the yolks and whites into two medium bowls.
- Whisk Yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become thick and pale yellow.
- Add Melted Butter to Yolks: Whisk the melted butter into the egg yolks until well combined.
- Incorporate Water: Whisk 1 cup of water into the yolk mixture.
- Add Dry Mix: Stir in 1 1/2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix until fully incorporated; then set the batter aside.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form but are not dry.
- Lighten Batter: Gently fold a spoonful of the stiff egg whites into the yolk batter to lighten it.
- Fold Remaining Whites: Carefully fold in the rest of the stiff egg whites to keep the batter airy and fluffy.
- Preheat Pan: Preheat the aebleskiver pan over medium heat according to manufacturer instructions.
- Butter the Pan: Brush each cup in the pan with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Fill the Cups: Pour batter into each cup, filling about 3/4 full.
- Cook First Side: Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Turn Aebleskivers: Use a fork or toothpick to turn each aebleskiver over.
- Cook Second Side: Cook for about 1 minute more until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve: Remove from pan, dust with powdered sugar to taste, and serve warm. Optionally, enjoy with jam inside when eating.
Notes
- Ensure the egg whites are not over-beaten to prevent a dry texture.
- Use a good quality aebleskiver pan for best results.
- Brush the pan with butter before each batch to avoid sticking.
- Optional jams like raspberry or strawberry complement these perfectly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftover aebleskivers can be reheated gently.
