progressivedinnerbuttonI’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:100_1463

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 buttermilk100_1451

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.100_1452

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….

Note: If you’re interested in checking out other blogs participating in the tour, a complete listing can be found on the Book Blog Social Club site.

Where The Wild Things Are — A Movie Review

October 25, 2009 2009

Earlier in the week, I made plans to spend Sunday afternoon enjoying a nice relaxing drive up the canyon to see the pretty fall colors with the family. It started off great, but by midway through the drive my nice family outing had disintegrated into fighting, hurt feelings, and everyone in the car looking for [...]

A Special Thanks to Dewey #Readathon

October 24, 2009 2009

This is my first year participating in Dewey’s Read-a-Thon, and it has been a great experience.  However, Dewey past away last year. I was very sad to read about that when I originally signed up. She has started such a wonderful tradition. I wonder if she even realized the difference that she made and continues [...]

“There is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us mere accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.”

—Friedrich Schiller
Credit chance, destiny, divine intervention, or just good marketing, but I have been bumping into the topic of human rights for women time and again over the last few months.  I have always had [...]
