Aebleskiver

Our new favorite breakfast treat!  There's a special pan you will need to cook these.  I like the cast iron one.



Aebleskiver

2 cups buttermilk
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
2 Tbls. sugar
2 Tbls. melted butter

Heat the pan and brush a little butter in each hole.  Use a small cookie or ice cream scoop to place batter in each hole.  When the sides start to look a little done (just like a pancake) use a wooden skewer to turn the aebleskiver by lifting a little on the side and letting it drop back down into the pan to cook on the other side. When done, lift out with a wooded skewer or toothpick.  Baste pan with butter again and continue cooking batter.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry sauce, jam, syrup or whatever you like.  You can also stuff yummy things into the center of the aebleskiver while they are cooking like apples, jam, chocolate, etc.  Just be sure to put it in right after you drop the batter into the pan.
