Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Steps
- Beat egg whites in a clean glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Beat egg yolks, buttermilk, flour, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Gently fold in egg whites.
- Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the bottom of each cup.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared cup. When bubbles appear around edges, quickly flip (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue turning the ball to keep it from burning until cooked through.
