Progressive Dinner Dessert- Aebleskivers

I’m so happy to participate in the progressive dinner for the Book Blog Social Club. I chose to make aebleskivers, which are a holiday tradition in my family. They originate from Denmark, and that is where my mother’s side of the family is from. We make these on holidays such as Halloween and Christmas. Although, they are fun to eat for breakfast too.

Aebleskivers are similar to a pancake ball except
they are fried. So, I guess they are kind of like
doughnut holes as well.

Ingredients:

2 Egg Whites
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Tbsp White Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
4 Tbsp Melted Butter
2 Cups Buttermilk
1 Cup Vegetable Oil (for frying)
A knitting needle, toothpick or kabob skewer

In order to make aebleskivers
you will  need a pan that
looks similar to the one below.

Directions:

1. Seperate the egg yolks from the egg whites

2. Beat egg whites until stiff

3. Combine all the dry ingredients
(flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt)

4. Mix dry ingredients with melted butter and buttermilk

5. Fold in the egg whites gently

6. Heat pan to medium heat

7. Add 1 Tbsp of oil into each well (I usually add 1/2 Tbsp or less)

8. Fill wells with batter 3/4 way full

9. When bubbles begin to form and the edges look dry, poke each aebleskiver
with knitting needle and turn it over to cook on the other side.
Continue turning until cooked on all sides.

10. Top with cinnamon and sugar, powdered sugar, or jam.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hopefully, you’ve been on the tour and were able to visit Suey at
It’s All About Books and got the recipe for Hershey’s double chocolate mint brownies.

Next on the progressive dinner list is a frozen cranberry dessert hosted at Amused by Books.

Mmmm….
