Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Instructions

    Beat egg yolks until light and lemon colored. Add sugar, salt, and buttermilk; mix well. Sift together flour, soda, and baking powder; add to egg mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter. Place a small amount of shortening in each cup of ebleskiver pan, and fill 2/3 full with batter. Cook over medium heat until bubbly. Turn carefully with fork and finish baking on other side. Turn each ebleskiver several times during baking to ensure thorough baking. If desired, a very thin slice of raw apple can be pressed into batter in each cup before turning. Serve with butter and syrup, jam, brown sugar, or sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.
