I have been experimenting with variuos recipes for aebleskivers and have
found one that has become the favorite of my family. Most recipes for these
use baking powder and soda for leavening but we prefer them made with
active dry yeast. For those of you not familiar with this delightful
delicacy they are a crusty ball made with pancake like batter and served
sprinkled with powdered sugar and whatever other sweetner such as jam or
syrup. They are often called the "Danish Doughnut". They do require a
special pan for baking on the stove top.
Mix together:
1 1/2 C flour
1 envelope yeast
1 Tbls. sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom
Heat 1 C milk with 4 Tbls. butter to 115 F and add to dry ingredients,
mixing well. Stir in 2 egg yolks, one at a time, then add grated lemon
peel from 1 lemon. Beat two egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold, a
third at a time, into the batter. Let batter rise in a warm place for about
20 minutes before using. Fill each cavity with the batter and when the
bottom side is nicely browned, carefully turn each one over to cook the
other side. Enjoy!!
