Aebleskiver Recipe

Æbleskiver, meaning apple slices in Danish, are small puffy pancakes that are traditionally filled with…apples! While a wide variety of flavored jams are used today for filling these puffy breakfast treats, we chose to coat the tried and true apple with freshly grated nutmeg and lemon juice for extra flavor. in addition, maple sugar makes an excellent sweetener for the batter.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon

  butter or cultured european style vegan butter

• 1

  apple, peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch chunks

• 1 tablespoon

  lemon juice

• 1/4 teaspoon

  freshly grated nutmeg

• 1 cup (130 grams)

  all purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon

  baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon

  salt

• 1 teaspoon

  maple sugar

• 3/4 cup (180 ml)

  milk or non-dairy milk

• 1/4 cup (60 ml)

  plain, unsweetened dairy or non-dairy yogurt

• 1/8 teaspoon

  vanilla powder

• Cooking spray or butter for greasing pan

Directions

In small bowl, toss apple chunks with lemon juice to coat. Melt butter over medium high heat in skillet, add apple and sauté until softened but still firm. Remove from heat and toss with nutmeg.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and maple sugar until combined. Whisk milk, yogurt and vanilla powder until combined and slowly mix into flour mixture to form a smooth batter with a few small lumps leftover.

Heat æbleskiver pan over medium high heat and grease with cooking spray or butter. Using a regular teaspoon eating utensil, drop a small amount of batter into each greased slot. Push an apple chunk into each slot and cover with more batter until level with top of pan.

Once tops of æbleskiver have dried around edges and centers are still slightly wet, using a regular teaspoon eating utensil, slowly flip each pancake over and allow to bake on undersides until golden.

Serve with favorite pancake condiments!
