Æbleskiver with Cinnamon Sugar

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Cakes and Desserts
Æbleskiver (pronounced: eb-luh-skee-ver) is Denmark's iconic Christmas pastry. Although the name means 'apple slices', modern versions rarely contain apple. Its specialty is the cooking technique: it is made in a special pan with semi-spherical hollows, where the batter is turned during cooking to create the perfect spherical shape. Light as a sponge inside, and crispy with butter on the outside.

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Separate the eggs. Whisk the whites until stiff peaks form.

Tip: The foam gives the batter its airiness; without it, you'd get dense dumplings.
2 ✓

Mix the yolks until smooth with the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and sugar.

Tip: It is important that the butter is not hot, lest it scramble the egg yolks.
3 ✓

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and the 1 tsp cinnamon, then work into the milk mixture.

Tip: Mix only until the flour disappears, no longer, to avoid chewiness (gluten formation).
4 ✓

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

Tip: Use large, wide movements so as not to break the foam.
5 ✓

Heat the pan, put a little butter in each hollow. Fill the hollows 3/4 full with batter.

Tip: The batter will expand, so don't overfill.
6 ✓

When the bottom is cooked (approx. 2 mins) and bubbles appear on the edge, turn the dumpling 90 degrees with a needle. Cook further, then turn over completely.

Tip: Due to the gradual turning, raw batter flows into the cooked shell, creating a perfect sphere.
7 ✓

Roll the finished dumplings while hot in the granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon.

Tip: The sugar sticks better to the warm dough.

Recipe FAQ

What if I don't have this pan?
Unfortunately, it is essential for the true spherical shape. In an emergency, bake in a waffle iron; the taste will be similar.
Why is the centre raw?
The pan was too hot; the outside burnt before the inside cooked. Turn down the heat.
