Ebelskivers (Danish Pancakes) With Lingonberry Jam
Ingredients
- 1 cup (about 5 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup lingonberry jam
- Confectioners’ sugar, for serving
Directions
- Combine your dry team: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside. In another bowl, unite the wet squad: egg yolks, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Embrace the lumps – they’re the secret to fluffy ebelskivers!
- Time to pump up the volume: Beat those egg whites into submission! Whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Carefully fold this cloud-like mixture into your batter.
- Let’s get cooking: Heat your ebelskiver pan over medium-high heat. Add a dab of butter to each well. Once it’s sizzling, pour in 1 tablespoon of batter, followed by a teaspoon of jam, and seal it with another tablespoon of batter. Cook until golden on the bottom (about 4 minutes), then perform your chopstick ballet to flip them. Another 3 minutes and you’re done! Keep them warm under a foil tent while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
