Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites (Beat egg whites in a clear glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.)
  • 2 buttermilk
  • 2 all-purpose flour
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1 vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 ground cardamom or cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Beat egg whites in a clear glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Mix together buttermilk, flour, egg yolks, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; beat until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in egg whites.
  4. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Put about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the bottom of each cup. Fill each cup between ⅔ and ¾ full. As soon as bubbles appear around the edges, turn them quickly about half way to the side. After that side has cooked, pull it directly up. (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work.) Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.
