Description

This grandma's recipe for Danish aebleskevers is easy to prepare and results in sweet, pancake-like treats that are best dipped in powdered sugar.

Ingredients

2 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon shortening
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, or as needed

Directions

1 Beat egg whites in a bowl until stiff.
2 Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a second bowl. Mix in egg yolks, condensed milk, and shortening. Fold in egg whites.
3 Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat until hot. Brush each cup with a little melted butter using a pastry brush, then fill each with about 2 tablespoons of batter until almost full. Cook until they begin to bubble; flip over, allowing batter to fill the bottoms of the cups. Continue to cook, turning as needed, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
