I have not posted for quite some time so in order to make up for this today I have a special treat. This is something I have been thinking about making for quite some time but finally had the opportunity tonight.
Aebleskiver is a traditional Danish puffed pancake cooked in a cast iron pan which looks like a cross between a muffin tin and fry pan. Essentially simple to make this pastry can be used as a breakfast or a dessert. Recipes range in variety from sweet to savory, from filled to plain, and no matter what you choose they are all scrumptious.
All of the recipes I could find contained only a few basic ingredients. Eggs, milk (or buttermilk), flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder (or soda or both). As I can’t eat eggs, and every recipe I found calls from 2 to 4 eggs per batch, this poses quite a problem. I created an eggless version tonight.
Mix 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, and 2 tblsp sugar. Add to the dry ingredients 2 cups of buttermilk and mix until smooth. I After making sure the aebleskiver pan is throughly heated grease lightly with butter and fill each hole 3/4 full with batter. To each aebleskiver I added one apple slice. When the pastry is fully cooked on one side, this takes 2 to 4 minutes, Rotate the pastry to cook the other side. Upon completion I removed the pastries and coated with powdered sugar.
This was a dessert that the whole family enjoyed and one that will be repeated many times.
