  • Fold egg whites into mixture.

Bake in Aebleskiver pan

  • Add about 1 Tbsp oil into each hole of the aebleskiver pan.
  • Heat pan until oil is hot.
  • Fill each hole with the batter.
  • Optional: you can add one or two raspberries or blueberries to each hole. Gently push into the batter.
  • Cook until batter starts to cook around the edges.
  • Flip aebleskivers over using a wooden skewer or fork.
  • For an expert turn, just turn it a quarter of the way, then a little more, then flip all the way over. (Or just flip it once. They still taste delicious.)
  • Cook for a couple minutes more until lightly browned.

Eat and Enjoy
