Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
- extra powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
In a separate small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat an ebelskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pancake batter into each well of the pan.
Quickly add 1/2 teaspoon of the lemon mascarpone filling into the center of each batter mound.
Cover the filling with another 1/2 tablespoon of batter to seal it inside.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Using a skewer or small spatula, gently flip each ebelskiver and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Carefully remove the ebelskiver from the pan and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
Dust the finished ebelskiver with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
