Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes)

2 egg whites

2 C all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 TBSP white sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 egg yolks

4 TBSP butter, melted

2 C buttermilk

1 C vegetable oil for frying

 

In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Set aside.  Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth.  Gently fold in the egg whites last.  Put about 1 TBSP of veg. oil in the aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 TBSP of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly with a fork. Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.
