Aebleskiver
Danish buttermilk pancake balls with jam and icing sugar.
About Aebleskiver
Kim Nielsen’s æbleskiver follows the unfilled Danish pancake-ball recipe his parents made during his childhood. He connects this family version with the Christmas season and serves it with jam and icing sugar.
Buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla sugar give the batter its rich, gently sweet flavour. The jam brings a fruity accompaniment to the pancake-like taste described by the publisher.
The individual spheres have an even light-brown crust and a fluffy, light interior. Their rounded shape comes from the traditional moulded pan, with the accompaniments presented separately.
