Ebelskivers

Ebelskivers. Have you ever heard of them? They are traditional Danish pancakes. They are light and fluffy because of the whipped egg whites that are folded into the batter. They have a distinctive sphere shape and there is a special pan to help you achieve the perfect pancake. I had to use 3 bowls. 1 to whisk the egg yellows with the milk, 1 to hold the mix and 1 for whipping the egg whites. I bought the mix at Williams-Sonoma but you can certainly make that from scratch. I bought the special pan at Williams-Sonoma also. I made these this morning for breakfast and only my 1 son and I like them so I cut the recipe in half. You put just a dash of butter in each well of the pan then add about 1 Tablespoon in each well. Then you add what ever filling that you might like. I added some chocolate chips to ours. (should have added more) You could use Nutella, jam, jelly, or maybe even fresh raspberries. I can't wait to try even more flavors.

After you add the filling you add 1 Tablespoon to each well covering the filling. Then flip the pancakes after they start to bubble. I used chop sticks to turn them. Williams-Sonoma does sell a tool to help flip but skewers or chop sticks or plastic knives also work.

Enjoy. Top them with syrup or powdered sugar or maybe even cinnamon sugar.. yum so delicious.
