Æbleskiver with Maple Syrup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Æbleskiver is Denmark's iconic spherical pancake. Although the name means 'apple slices', modern versions rarely contain apple. It is made in a special pan with hemispherical indentations. The texture of the batter is a cross between a pancake and a doughnut: a crispy crust on the outside and a light, airy crumb inside, provided by beaten egg whites.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Eggs
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Gluten

Instructions

1 ✓

Separate the eggs. Beat the whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt.

Tip: The egg whites mechanically introduce air into the batter, making it 'soufflé-like'.
2 ✓

Mix the yolks until smooth with the milk, butter and sugar, then fold in the flour mixed with baking powder. Do not overmix!

Tip: If you overmix, the gluten activates and the batter becomes rubbery. Just mix until combined.
3 ✓

Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture with large movements.

Tip: Be careful not to deflate the foam, or the ball will be flat.
4 ✓

Heat the Æbleskiver pan over a medium heat. Put a little butter in each indentation. Fill them 3/4 full with batter.

Tip: If you fill them completely, they will overflow when they start to rise.
5 ✓

When the edges start to set (approx. 2 minutes), turn them 90 degrees with a skewer. Cook further, then turn completely to form a sphere.

Tip: Turning in stages allows the liquid batter to fill the spherical shape.
6 ✓

Cook until golden brown on all sides, then serve hot with maple syrup.

Tip: The caramel flavour of maple syrup goes perfectly with the buttery batter.

Recipe FAQ

I don't have a special pan, what should I do?
Unfortunately, this shape is the essence. Without it, you can make American pancakes; the taste will be the same, but the experience won't.
The middle remained raw.
The pan was too hot, so the outside burnt before the heat reached the centre. Turn down the heat!
