Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 count Large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 count Large egg whites
- for greasing Nonstick cooking spray or additional melted butter
- as desired Jam, Nutella, or fruit (optional, for filling)
- for dusting Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using a whisk or an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites, as they are key to making the ebleskivers light and airy.
Preheat an ebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Once the pan is hot, fill each well about halfway with batter. If you are adding a filling, such as jam or Nutella, place a small spoonful in the center of each well and then cover with a little more batter.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and you see small bubbles forming. Use a skewer or fork to gently flip the ebleskivers, cooking on the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Remove the finished ebleskivers from the pan and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Enjoy them plain or with additional jam, syrup, or fresh fruit on the side.
