-Round Danish Pancakes-
Basic recipe adapted by Steven and Kristen
Yield: about 35 Ebleskiver... we like to double this recipe for 4-5 people
3 Large Eggs – separated
2 c Buttermilk
2 TB sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 c All-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 TB melted butter for oiling the grids
Beat the egg yolks in a bowl then whisk in the buttermilk and salt until thoroughly mixed.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Add to the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth and most of the lumps are gone.
Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the whites into the first mixture.
Brush melted butter into the wells and turn ebleskiver pan on. Fill each well 2/3 full. Sprinkle in any filling, and use a skewer to cover the fillings with the surrounding batter. Allow them to cook until the bottoms are golden brown then turn over with a bamboo skewer to cook the other side (approximately 1-2 minutes.) You may need to tuck in the edges of the pancake after you flip it if the batter has grown outside the well.
-If you are going to put in a filling, fill the well, then place the filling on top, and kind of push down and bury it in the batter, so when you turn it over it doesn't contact the cooking well. Otherwise it will look burnt. You'll find what works best for your fillings with practice. It's delicious no matter.
**In a pinch, you can also use pancake mix as a basic batter, but still separate the eggs and beat/fold the whites into the batter.
